Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to investigate the understanding of God by members of the
Netherdutch Reformed Church (Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika [NHKA]), their
liturgical experience and its influence on the development of a missional congregation.
The world is currently in the midst of a wave of changes that have far-reaching implications
for the church and, specifically, for the NHKA. In a changing world it is imperative that
church members understand the value of the different metaphors of God as well as its value
for the development of the missional congregation. From a practical-theological approach,
this article aims to look at the influence of the liturgy of life on the development of a missional
congregation.
