MISSION STATEMENT

The primary mission of the General Synod Office is to assist the Church in its engagement with Australian society.

Five strategies have been developed as a means of implementing this mission as we seek to:

  • develop the work of the national institutions;
  • provide ideas and initiatives directly;
  • be more efficient in the use of our resources;
  • offer our advice in the area of finance and administration;
  • and develop effective communications within the church and with the public arena.
