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.
