What is Christian Mission?

 

Christians understand 'mission' in many different ways but most would agree that mission begins as the initiative of God, when God reaches out in love to all of his creation, and especially to humankind. Our mission is a response to, and a joining in with, this prior action by God.

 

Members of Faith2Share seek to reflect the love of God as we serve humanity and care for creation in many different ways. We believe that Jesus gives us the best example of what it means to be part of God's mission today.

 

Discipleship, following Jesus in obedience, love and hope, is at the heart of all we seek to do.

 


 

Through the Links on this page we invite you to explore many aspects of Christian mission, its history, its future and the life stories of some who have lived a life of mission, following Jesus.

 

We would also love to hear your experiences in mission or listen to your questions so please use the response form below to join this conversation.
