"We define Missional Life Marks as a set of attributes in an individual's life that define or reflect the accomplishment of the church's mission. The Missional Life Marks are the church's portrait of a disciple and definition of spiritual maturity. Missional Life Marks supply the standard by which the mission can be measured with respect to an individual's development through the ministry of the church."

— Will Mancini. Church Unique: How Missional Leaders Cast Vision, Capture Culture, and Create Movement (Jossey-Bass Leadership Network Series)
