Sister-Church Partnership Orientation
The context for a global missional lifestyle is to be found not in independent single church efforts (short-term mission and otherwise) here and there in the world but in partnering in each other’s communities and networks globally for the long-term.
Defined in this way, sister-church partnerships, with their intended focus on long-term relationships first and foremost, present churches with a consistent way to apply missional living on a global scale. If you are a pastor or a church leader who is passionate about giving your church opportunities to live missionally in your own community, think about how a relationship-based approach would look lived out in your community.
The first step in the process for a church/ministry partnership is taking part in a Sister-Church Partnership Orientation. This four-hour session focuses on cross-cultural understanding and education for pastors, staff, and church/ministry leaders. It will help you understand how to lead your church to participate in long-term, cross-cultural, relationship-based, mutual partnerships to empower everyone involved.
This orientation is being hosted by Christ Community Baptist Church in Puyallup, Washington, on July 18, 9:00–1:00. Check out the flyer for more information.
