Mission & Church Planting Commission Report

The Commission focus has been to develop a working relationship with the Missions Director for the reviewing of new church startups and to provide necessary support to the current church projects. Our four continuing projects, Kern River, Latino Community, Lord of Love, The Well, and our three new Hispanic projects, have access to training resources, mission enrichment, and scholarship funds.

Support was provided to those that attended the Cross-Cultural Consultation and Celebration held in New Windsor, Maryland, April 19-22, 2007. This trip provided cross-cultural exchange and information sharing across districts. The budget was reviewed and approved group to provide necessary support.

The Future goal of the Mission and Church Planting Commission is to continue to provide on-going support to existing church projects and to also increase our effort to broaden the cross-cultural presence and awareness in the district. The will be done through visitation, training, utilization of resource materials and sharing information about our successes.
