Board of Mission
about us
The Board of Mission oversights a staff team that works to support the mission of the Uniting Church in NSW and the ACT. Areas of work include the Uniting Aboriginal & Islander Congress, Cross-cultural Mission, Rural Evangelism & Mission, Urban Mission & Evangelism, Mission Finance, New Congregations, Research (through the National Church Life Survey) and World Mission. Consultants are available to work with Congregations or Presbyteries enquiring about Rural Mission Planning and Evangelism, New Congregations, Mission Finance or Research.
AIM: The aim of the Board of Mission is to call the church to participate in God's mission for the sake of the world.
Therefore the Board of Mission in active relationship with all councils of the Uniting Church in Australia and with other churches, will:
- focus on building transformed communities of hope.
- seek to grow a movement of people engaged in sharing a journey of Christian faith and mission
- encourage the continual reshaping of the life and mission of the Church as a response to changing contexts and priorities.
In resourcing mission across the Synod the Board of Mission is aware that the Church serves diverse communities including urban, suburban, rural, remote, indigenous and multicultural, and differing mission responses are required in different communities.
