Mission Education and Cultivation Department
1449. Purpose--The Mission Education and Cultivation Department exists:
a) To undergird the total program of the General Board of Global Ministries affirming that relating persons to mission through communication, education, and cultivation is itself mission.
b) To initiate and develop programs and resources through which individuals and groups may understand the biblical background and theological basis of the Christian world mission, the involvement of The United Methodist Church in global ministries, the special concerns of women in mission, and the possibilities for personal and corporate witness involvement in and support of those ministries.
c) To initiate and develop programs and resources through which children and youth may understand the mission of the Church. This should be done by the Mission Education and Cultivation Department in cooperation with the General Board of Discipleship.
