The Domestic Missionary Partnership is an ongoing active partnership of dioceses that, by Baptism, are sent into the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our work as partners is to share, challenge and encourage one another to deepen and expand the vitality of our mission activities. We understand that we are accountable to the whole church for this work.
Dioceses of the Domestic Missionary Partnership see themselves as value-added resources for mission for each other and the Church. We believe that when we are focused on vital and effective mission we are transformed by grace. Through our annual forum and networking we provide opportunities to share experiences, accomplishments, knowledge and ideas for mission. Members help each other to meet the challenges in creative ways and build on their successes.
Members of the Domestic Missionary Partnership intend to challenge each other to utilize all available resources for mission. We will create and sustain effective personnel and structures that support vital mission in congregations and in dioceses. We will also work as partners with the Executive Council of The Episcopal Church and program staff at the Episcopal Church Center on Church activities.
The Domestic Missionary Partnership will continue to be a funding vehicle to support mission enterprises Our stewardship of such funds will be mission driven and will focus on helping to find resources for mission enterprises within member dioceses.
We invite all dioceses to accept, support, and implement the purpose and intention of the Domestic Missionary Partnership and join in this partnership with us.
