Mindsets of City Reaching


There are two mindsets of city reaching. One mindset is represented by a line and asks the question do you believe like I believe. As in the picture, the arrows go outward. A centered mindset is depicted by a center dot with arrows going in and out. The centered mindset asks do you care about what I care about. Everyone is focused on a center or common initiative.

The centered mindset can work with the bounded mindset in a healthy way. The bounded mindset is the covenant community that regularly meets together to practice spiritual disciplines. They care about the reign of God in the city. Those people then become centered as they serve God in their various vocations and people from the culture come in to join them on city reaching efforts.
