Become A Mission Partner

noun - those engaged in parish service, working with one another in Christ’s mission -
"Mission partners are greatly appreciated members of the parish community serving in the mission of the church."
Why "mission partner" and not "volunteer?" (expand to read more)
Mission partners are not free labor, but people who give of themselves in a church and parish setting doing more than getting a task done. They are participating in the Mission of the Church, which is to bring people to Jesus Christ. When we give of ourselves to the Church, and All Saints in particular, we are embracing our own call to The Mission, not providing the community with free labor. We are an active part of the world's most important mission, introducing Jesus and helping to form and advance discipleship.
