“But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him, who is the head, into Christ from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.”
— Ephesians 4:15–16
Learn about the General Assembly Mission Council
For over 200 years, Presbyterians have been responding to the call of Jesus Christ, taking the gospel into all the world and bearing witness to Christ’s saving love to the ends of the earth. Today the Holy Spirit is still on the move, calling us to share in what God is doing in the world. As your partner in Christ’s service, the General Assembly Mission Council is faithfully working to Grow Christ’s Church Deep and Wide – bringing Presbyterians together in mission and ministry as together we grow in evangelism, discipleship, servanthood, and diversity.
The General Assembly Mission Council is the ministry and mission agency of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Six ministry areas carry out our missional work: Compassion, Peace and Justice; Evangelism and Church Growth; Racial Ethnic and Women’s Ministries/Presbyterian Women; Theology, Worship and Education; Vocation; and World Mission. Together with Shared Services, and Communications and Funds Development, these ministry areas work to inspire, equip, and connect all Presbyterians for the church’s work.
Linda Valentine serves as Executive Director of the General Assembly Mission Council.
