Robert, it's great to hear about your work. And I'm glad to officially be "friends"! My D.Min. paper is actually on being a missional church in suburbia, which seems to fit your context well. In it I identify three major areas of brokenness typically found in suburbia which the missional church can seek to address--lack of community/loneliness, lack of purpose/materialism, lack of peace/worry, stress, and anxiety. I will publish it soon, and it may be of interest to you. What specific questions do you have? I'll try to be as much help as possible.

Thanks, Robert, for sharing this. Have you read Michael Breen's work, Launching Missional Communities? It is an excellent work. Also, Reggie McNeal just came out with a book on missional communities. I also would be happy to help with anything that I can. What questions did you have about missional communities?
