other gatherings. Staff have addressed conventions and assemblies, shared videos, distributed
information, and been available
to address inquiries. But mostly
they have met and talked with the
people of God who are engaging
in God’s mission. Their role has
been the ministry of witness and
support.
Areas of substantial passion and
collaborative witness to emerge
from our work with bishops and
dioceses include: deeper partner
ship around congregational
development; formation of clergy
and lay leadership; grants, scholarship, and other available funding;
service programs for young adults;
and calls for prayer.
In addition to financial resources
and staff support, we can help
with demographical and statistical
data; the development of strategy
for church starts and Mission
Enterprise Zones; campus
ministry; outreach to historically
underrepresented communities;
support for websites and social
media; and consultation on
public relations and crisis
communication. But these are
just some of the ways we can
partner. We’d love to hear from
you about others.
