Churches | Global Connections



Why should you join?

1. Relationships with agencies

Are you confused by the number of agencies and unsure how to engage with them? We have guidelines to help mission agencies and churches work together in partnership, each respecting and affirming the role of the other.

2. Christian Vocations

Needing someone to fill a specific role? Advertise your vacancies with Christian Vocations at a discounted price. There are also special rates for advertisements in iServe and the SERVE short-term publications that both enjoy a wide circulation and include an online presence. 

2. Raising standards

Want to improve what you are doing? Many of the forums provide sharing and learning opportunities. Global Connections also has a growing portfolio of codes, policy guidelines and pro-forma.

3. Networking

Ever feel isolated? As a network we provide unique links to others involved in mission and who have the same passions as you. Throughout the year there is a variety of events and forums, covering a vast range of topics and issues. There is probably one that fits you. Members attend at greatly discounted prices.

4. Exploring the future of mission

Don't have the time to think or reflect? What are the key issues in mission? What does the future hold? The network provides opportunities to think about key issues and reflect theologically.

5. Information resource

Looking for that resource you cannot find? We are here to help. Maybe we don't know, but someone in the network will.

6. Insurances and Group Life Cover

Through our partnership with Banner Financial Services and Jelf we have negotiated special travel and medical insurance schemes, insurances to enable compliance with the Package Travel Regulations, as well as a unique Group Life Assurance scheme with especially favourable terms for overseas workers.

7. Pensions

Even mission workers eventually retire! Global Connections provides access to group personal pension schemes both for UK staff and for mission partners overseas. The schemes are with Zurich Assurance and are administered by Independent Financial Advisers, Succession Group Ltd.
