One of the key aspects of Global Connections’ vision as a network is encouraging and supporting local churches as they seek to develop the ways in which they serve in mission.
What is an intentionally missional church?
"Most evangelical churches in the UK do mission. They believe that doing mission is part of their evangelical responsibility as gospel people. They send money for mission, mission personnel are mentioned in their prayers and they sometimes arrange an event to hear about what is happening in another part of the UK or the wider world."
"But doing mission is not the same as being missional. Churches that do mission may well make a significant contribution to building the Kingdom of God, but the underlying ethos of most well established UK churches is not missional and certainly not intentionally missional."

Global Connections has recently launched series of Good Practice Guides (GPGs) for church leaders. GPGs are not the ‘final word’ on an issue, but are short, stimulating and sometimes controversial documents to help church leaders, elders, PCCs and other church committees think about mission. They are available from the GPG library and will grow in number and scope in the months ahead.
