Becoming a Global Mission Church

What is a Global Mission Church?

 A congregation is designated a “Global Mission Church” by the United Church of Christ/ Global Ministries if it is a church that:

  1. Prays regularly for partners, missionaries and the world.
  2. Educates its members (from preschool to adult) about global issues.
  3. Seeks Justice for the “least of these” in the international community.
  4. Receives the gifts of the global church.
  5. Gives to the work of global mission.
  6. Sends its members into the world to share the Good News of Jesus.
  7. Grows in sharing the story of God’s mission with others.
