    PARTNERSHIP COVENANT BETWEEN

    VIRGINIA BAPTIST MISSION BOARD

    AND

    WOMAN’S MISSIONARY UNION OF VIRGINIA

    The Virginia Baptist Mission Board (“the VBMB”) and the Woman’s Missionary Union of Virginia (“the WMUV”) believe God has called every Christian to be involved in missions and each has a responsibility and accountability to carry that call out through a mission lifestyle.

    .

    Therefore, we will:
  • Maintain the Partnership Agreement between the BGAV and the WMUV and help cast a unified mission vision for Virginia Baptist churches.
  • Support gender-specific and co-educational mission organizations in Virginia Baptist churches.
  • Develop “hands-on” mission opportunities. Mission education, through the “hands-on” experience, will emphasize the concept of mission lifestyle.
  • Customize ministries and respond to the mission initiative of individual churches.
  • Communicate cooperatively the mission story through a variety of media.
     
  • Think in comprehensive and expansive ways about mission mobilization for Virginia Baptists.
     
  • Develop mission strategies which include district associations and other ministry partners.
  • Link Virginia Baptist resources with needs in Virginia, North America, and around the world.
  • Value all cultures in Virginia Baptist life and encourage transcultural mission endeavors.
  • Bridge intergenerational groups and mentor future mission leaders.
  • Coordinate with the VBMB’s Glocal Missions and Evangelism Team to facilitate participation in experiential mission education with the WMUV serving in an active role on the Partnership Missions Regional Steering Group.
