Mission formation
Mission formation in the MN South District takes on a three-pronged approach: think, plan, and act. Churches engaged in mission formation begin by thinking through best practices for ministry. Then, they plan how they will engage with their community, revitalize their congregation, and engage in new mission opportunities. Finally, they act!
