The authors provide expert insight on church culture and church vision casting, along with case studies of successful modern missional churches.

Across North America, many pastors are excited to see churches growing as they achieve their mission to connect in God's name with the community at large. Still others are equally frustrated, following the exact same model for outreach but with lesser results. Indeed, just because a "missional breakthrough" occurs in one place doesn't mean it will happen the same way elsewhere. One size does not fit all, but there is a code that must be broken for all churches to grow and remain effective. Breaking the Missional Code provides expert insight on church culture and church vision casting, plus case studies of successful modern missional churches. "We have to recognize there are cultural barriers (in addition to spiritual ones) that blind people from understanding the gospel," the authors write. "Our task is to find the right way to break through those cultural barriers without removing the spiritual and theological ones."
