Share Your Church's Story for the Mission Yearbook Website
We’re excited to invite congregations to contribute to this year’s online Mission Yearbook! As we continue to share inspiring stories of faith, service, and community, we’d love to feature relevant stories that come directly from local congregations.
(Go to bottom of this page for submission form link.)
Why Share Your Story?
By submitting your church’s story, you have the opportunity to:
- Inspire others: Your experiences can serve as a source of encouragement for other churches facing similar circumstances, reminding them of God’s work and the ways He is moving through His people.
- Build connection: Sharing your story strengthens the bond within the Presbyterian family, as we celebrate the diversity of our faith and the common mission we share in Christ.
- Honor your journey: Every church has its own unique story. From the early days of ministry to present-day initiatives, every chapter is part of God’s grand narrative of faithfulness.
Story Ideas:
We would love to hear about how God has been at work in your church. You might consider including:
- The history of your congregation: How did your church begin? What are some milestones or significant moments in your journey?
- Mission and ministry efforts: What outreach programs, local or global mission efforts, or community engagement activities have been significant to your church?
- Spiritual growth: How have your worship practices, prayer life, or Bible studies shaped your congregation?
- Testimonies of lives transformed: Share stories of individuals whose lives have been changed through the ministry of your church.
- Challenges and victories: What struggles has your church faced, and how has God provided and led you through them?
What we’re looking for:
- A brief Story (300–600 words)
- A short prayer
- High-quality digital images (with captions and credit)
- If you have a video, please include the URL where it is posted.
