Diagrams and models like this can be very helpful. For example, I think it was a church-growth PCA guy (Scotty Smith?) who described the work of the church as "upreach, inreach, and outreach." It's a poetic way of saying, "You have to be all of these because they're related, and your church life is incomplete without any one of these activities."
I think that this broad distribution of emphasis (I'm avoiding the word "balance") is related to what I was getting at in my Multi-polar Christian Piety post a while ago.
