Home mission

Every follower of Jesus stepping into the mission of God

 
 

Methodist Home Mission Ireland serves the Church to inspire and empower followers of Jesus to step into the mission of God. We partner with District Superintendents, Circuits and local congregations as they encourage mission in their contexts.

Committed to Mission

The Methodist Church in Ireland is committed to mission. In recent years we have sensed a renewed call to missional discipleship, living as followers of Jesus who share the love of God together in everyday life to see change in the world around us. For many churches, and their people, this means experimenting with new ways of connecting with people who are outside of our church walls.
