5 Columns of Mission
By Joan Hackett
In 2015, 29 of our local churches in the PNW Conference achieved all 5 Columns of Mission! Every church is challenged to support mission in these five ways each year:
- Collecting for One Great Hour of Sharing (the 4th Sunday in Lent, with gifts accepted all year).
- Giving to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)
- Contributing to an Advance Project (listed in “Giving Opportunities through the Advance 2013-2016” or at umcmission.org)
- Sending someone to Mission u (visit pnwumw.org for more info!)
- Having a Covenant Relationship with a missionary (Katherine Parker & The Rev. Paul Jeffrey itinerate this year. Sign up NOW!)
Also, congratulations to 48 of our local churches that honorably achieved 4 Columns of Mission Churches!
All together, 77 or 29% of PNW Churches have committed in making mission a priority in the local church through achieving these 5 Columns of Mission! Download the PDF below to view a list of churches that have achieved 4 and 5 Columns of Mission!
