Mission and Outreach Work Group Goals
- To engage in sustaining relationships with local and international partners.

- To provide experiential/hands on opportunities to go and see what God is doing beyond our comfort zone, equipping God’s Children to serve in local and global communities.
- To learn about existing partnerships within our presbytery.
- To explore a variety of models that seek to empower and equip God’s children in diverse economic realities.
- To connect with the General Assembly Presbyterian Mission Agency and other agencies both local and international.
