What is a Mission Study?
A Mission Study is the process that a congregation goes through to seek discernment about how God would have that church to be and to act in the future. It is led by a committee of the Session, called the Mission Study Team (MST). The process results in a Mission Study Report presented to the Session for approval and to the Presbytery Committee on Ministry for review. This process is required by Presbytery before a congregation can elect a Pastoral Nominating Committee and begin the search for a new pastor.
