Planning and funding your congregation’s mission

Mission planning is about seeing what God is doing in your congregation or group and building on it for the next step.

Living is Giving wants to help you extend your congregation's local mission to the wider world. By deliberately choosing to support areas which tackle priorities similar to those in your own mission plan your congregation can further the cause of the mission to which you feel God has called you in particular.

All good mission starts with a plan. If you need help with mission planning in your congregation to help you link your mission to Living is Giving mission focus areas, contact Sue Willgoss at the Board of Mission on (02) 8267 4387 or suew@nsw.uca.org.au.

The Synod also has some limited financial resources, including Synod Mission Resource Funding, which might be applicable to your congregation's mission. Visit the Mission Finance News website for ideas and resources.

What with covering day-to-day expenses, supporting mission activities and projects locally and abroad, and contributing to Living is Giving, there are a lot of demands on a congregation’s finances. Click here for some inspiring fundraising ideas.
