Incarnational
Terra Nova is an attempt to bring truth to time. God is most accessible
to us, and understood by us, when He looks like us. It is our belief
that America has to look at itself as a mission field more than ever
before. In a time when there is hyper change, movements of ideas and
people have created generational shifts that are highly noticeable. New
ethnic groups and a fully matured consumer industry have promoted
acustomized sense of identity in affinity groups. It becomes important
for the church in the United States to see itself more than ever as a
missional body. Jesus walked where the people were. Paul did the same
as he walked onto Mars Hill and used the cultural icons of the day to
reflect Christ. The missional principle of incarnation, bringing truth
to time, is critical to Terra Nova and its mission of reaching out.
