Can one local, urban church possibly reach all the different kinds of people around it - a mixture of yuppies, older working-class folk, family units ('traditional' and 'non-traditional' - of all sorts and descriptions), subcultural groupings (you name it - people from other lands and ethnicities - the diaspora of the world, now present with and among us), the gay population, upper-class snobs . . . I mean, do we really have any idea what it is we're trying to do?!
Most of our churches are just reaching out (locally, if at all -- with waaayyyy overseas, of course, being the exception) to people just like them. That's not missional.
