Local Mission & Ministry Review (LMMR)

All our churches are encouraged to undertake a Local Ministry and Mission Review regularly (at least every 4 years).

 

We are making the documents below available so that churches/pastorates can initiate and conduct their own review at regular intervals, especially when encouraged to do so by their link person from pastoral committee.  This process is aimed at giving the churches/pastorates a living document to help them review where God is taking them and gives them ways to move the churches forward.

 

Please read the Introduction and Step by Step Guide first.  Then look through the resources offered and judge which would suit your church/pastorate.
