Our church is committed to cross cultural mission. We believe that the gospel is such good news that it propels us out into the world to proclaim by word and deed the good news of the gospel. (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8 & Mark 1:17) Whilst we believe that this mission has both a local and global dimension, this policy is concerned with cross-cultural missions and how we chose to partner with others in fulfilling that mission. The idea of the policy is to create for us a clear process in making decisions about whom we will partner with and on what basis we will make that decision.
