The World Mission Committee is a subcommittee of the PCC (more about the Parochial Church Council) which aims to bring information to the church about our mission partners in various parts of the world as well as mission activities by individuals and groups within the church.

Main committee meeting of the WMC is monthly

Mission Focus on Sundays
On the first Sunday of the month we bring one or more of our mission partners to the attention of the church. If they can be present, we interview and pray for them. If not, then we bring the church the latest information about them.

Prayer - Mission Prayer Meeting is every second Tuesday in the month at different venues (contact the mission committee via the email below for details or to be added to the prayer list).

News for Prayer - produced monthly with up to date information on mission partners as a help for prayer for individuals and in cells (to add your name to the circulation list, please contact the mission committee via the email below)

Hot News - produced at regular intervals with mission news for whole church

Cells - cell groups are encouraged to ‘adopt' a mission partner (see details in the ‘Send Out' booklet)
