Mission Engagement

Cultivating, collaborating, and communicating God's mission to the local churches of the Western NC Conference of the United Methodist Church.

The Mission Engagement Team is actively collaborating through: 

• Forming and administering the conference relationships with the General Board of Global Ministries, United Methodist Committee on Relief, and United Methodist Volunteers in Mission.                                                                                  
• Promoting and expanding the work of our own WNC Conference initiatives such as Congregations for Children (C4C) and the Committee on Relief.        

• Advancing the work of our conference partnerships: Project Agape, Zoe Empowers, the Central Congo Partnership, Open Arms Community, and several mission agencies located in Haiti.

• Assisting numerous mission teams from the conference as they journey locally, regionally, and internationally.

Cultivation within Mission Engagement looks like:

• Developing programs and resources for local church empowerment through a lens of asset-based community development.

• Producing a comprehensive mission training program that includes mission team leader, early response team, chaplaincy, advanced team trainings, and district disaster response orientation.

• Designing and organizing conference-wide events that are aimed at mission learning, community development, and leading crucial conversations around mission, service, outreach, and ministry.

• Supporting the work of our Conference Missional Collective and various learning cohorts.

• Studying, exploring, and examining potential future mission partnerships and Advanced Specials.
