How to GO

We believe that steps to the mission field should be a relational process. It is with you, your local church, our denominational World Outreach committee, our WO field team or one of many partnered sending agencies.

5. Engage. Join us for an Engage event along with other candidates. Take part in interviewswith the World Outreach Commissioned Assessment Team.

Cultural and field assessments begin by both the home office and field teams.
6. Welcome! You are now an EPC World Outreach missionary appointee, able to begin building your support team and completing field requirements.
7. Commissioned. General Assembly is an annual national gathering of Evangelical Presbyterian leaders. Final items needed will be full support pledged, departure information needed by the home office, team coordinator and field team. Once these are done, you are ready to …
8. GO!
