그리스도인으로서 우리는 하나님, 이웃, 우리 자신과의 관계에서 지속적으로 성장해야 합니다. 특히 교회의 직제 사역에서 봉사하도록 부름받은 사람들은 더욱 그렇습니다. 사역 장로나 집사로서 미국장로교 교회를 현재 섬기고 있거나 섬기고자 하는 이들은, 그 신앙이 성장해야 할 뿐만 아니라 그 소명에 맞게 리더십도 성장해야 합니다.
사역 장로는 "하나님 말씀에 대한 신실함을 분별하고 측정하며 개체교회의 신앙과 삶을 견고케 하고 양육하도록 개체교회가 선택"한 사람들입니다.(미국장로교 규례서, G-2.0301). 그리고 "성경에 명시된 집사의 사역은 긍휼, 전도, 섬김의 직분으로서 예수 그리스도의 구속의 사랑을 나누는" 것입니다. (G-2.0201) 이러한 교회의 직분자 양성을 위한 자료가 여기에 있습니다.
Over the past 20-plus years, some PC(USA) churches have built a “twinning” relationship, or partnership, with churches in Russia, and their shared commitments to mission, friendship and faith have led to long-lasting results. There are many resources available to describe these partnerships and the work they achieved together.
However, just as the Eastern Europe Partnership Network was beginning to seek out similar relationships in Belarus and Ukraine, the Russian invasion of Ukraine forced churches to cancel travel plans and find new ways to stay connected with their partner churches.
During this time, the network has been exploring other ways to serve in Eastern Europe, especially in neighboring countries, and to establish new mission partnerships. See some of the partner organizations from Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Moldova in the Connect Section of the toolkit.
When your discernment process identifies a desire to explore establishing a relationship with a mission partner in Eastern Europe, your engagement will take on its own character and be reflective of the people or group who are engaged. From there, engagement will grow and adjust based on the person or group.
Resources for building a long-term engagement with a mission partner include:

Contact: [email protected] - “Called as Partners,” International Partnership Manual
Presbyterian World Mission’s international partnership manual helps Presbyterians better understand “mission in partnership” and provides advice for establishing and maintaining a mission partnership. - Presbyterians Do Mission in Partnership (English)
The practice of partnership guides our whole connectional church. It guides us individually as members, officers and pastors. It guides us collectively as congregations, presbyteries, synods, General Assembly ministries and related institutions. This document paraphrases a policy statement adopted by the 215th General Assembly (2003) regarding mission in partnership. - Doing Mission in Partnership Lesson Plan
- Eastern Europe Partnership Network (EEPN)
Members of the Eastern Europe Partnership Network, who have years of experience in working with partner churches in Russia, can provide practical guidance in building relationships, leading trips to visit your partner, hosting visits from your partner and engaging your congregation in the mission.

EEPN also has a private Facebook Group to provide more security for our partners.
- The Office of Public Witness is the public policy information and advocacy office of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Its task is to advocate, and help the church to advocate, the social witness perspectives and policies of the Presbyterian General Assembly. The church has a long history of applying these biblically and theologically based insights to issues that affect the public — maintaining a public policy ministry in the nation’s capital since 1946. The Office of Public Witness recently promoted a conference in partnership with other protestant churches and the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. This particular opportunity has passed, but there are contacts and information about the partnership.
- Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is the emergency and refugee program of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). See some of the specific assistance they’re providing to Ukraine at pcusa.org/situation/ukraine.
