PROJECT 16:49

MISSIONS AND OUTREACH

We are a body of people who believe that Jesus Christ is Lord — meaning that God lived on earth in the form of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus Christ taught us how to live, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of the Father. Our congregation consists of people from every race, of many languages and nationalities (about 25 nations represented on a typical Sunday morning!), of all ages, educational levels, marital statuses, and economic levels. We are all sinners who have thrown ourselves on the grace of God, and we live with a joy and peace because God graciously forgives. God’s Holy Spirit lives in us, and changes us from what we should otherwise be without Him.

Mission & Vision Statement:

The mission of the General Board of Global Ministries is to equip and transform people and places for God’s mission around the world.


Their four mission goals are:

  1. Make disciples of Jesus Christ.
  2. Strengthen, develop, and renew Christian congregations and communities.
  3. Alleviate human suffering.
  4. Seek justice, freedom, and peace.


Mission Services:

The result of a range of strategic conversations by staff and directors, the strategic plan was officially approved in October 2022. It enumerates operational touchstones and identifies 17 priority programs for the agency, reflecting one or more of four mission priorities:

▪missionaries

▪evangelism and church revitalization,

▪global health, and

▪humanitarian relief and recovery


Thanking the Global Ministries and UMCOR boards for their engagement in the process, General Secretary Roland Fernandes said, “My prayer is that this long transitional moment can be truly transformative for our church, and in particular, for our agency, so that we may be true channels for God’s mission.”
