MCAP and Missio

Apprenticing People and Communities of Mission

The landscape of Western culture has changed. Profound and complicated, these changes present the Church with new challenges and opportunities. The Church must, as it has so many times in its past, make striking changes in its methods of serving and facilitating opportunities for people to become faithful followers of Christ. The Church must engage our culture with a relevant, courageous, attractive, and clear message.

The MCAP (Missional Church Apprenticeship Practicum) is Missio’s 12-month online training and coaching process. The MCAP is a three stage process that sequentially includes: Ascend, ZerO, and Morph. Click on the MCAP Process link above to find out more.
