Mission Areas

We’ve organized our district is into seven mission areas based on geographic location and cultural-linguistic context.

Each mission area has a Mission Area Leader who assists our district superintendent in:

Building a sense of community and camaraderie among the pastors of that mission area;
Promoting the cause of Christ by encouraging and strategizing for ministerial development, church growth, evangelism, starting and restarting churches;
Carrying out specific assignments on behalf of the district superintendent and the District Advisory Board; and
Serving as a communications bridge between the local congregations and the district. (Manual 200.6, cf. 238.8)
