Outreaches & Missionaries
Department of Missions and Evangelism Antiochian Orthodox Christian
The vision of the Department of Missions and Evangelism is nothing other than helping His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH to “save souls” by strengthening our parishes in “Praising, Preaching, and Presenting.”
The success of Church growth demands episcopal oversight. It is the Metropolitan, together with the local diocesan bishops who gives order, meaning and direction to Church growth, so that growth becomes neither an end in itself, nor ordered, or given meaning and direction simply by local interests and pursuits, but becomes an expression of the true nature of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
We may ask the question: “Why did Christ give some as evangelists?” The answer: “…for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” He did not say specifically “…for them to go start missions.”
