Elders and mission
This part of the course explores what mission
means; how mission is actually God’s agenda and how the
spirit can support and define mission, for us as individuals, and for the wider church.
2. Before you start
Worship and mission are the core of our church life.
Consider what your understanding of
‘mission’ is:
- how do you see the mission of your local church as God’s agenda?
- how
often does the church reflect on the outcomes of its mission?
- has the mission
of the church changed with the different circumstances facing the communities
it serves? How?
Record your thoughts in a way suitable for you
and at the end of this module, review your thoughts. Have they changed in any
way? What actions may you take now?
