A Christian presence in every community

Mission Agencies

The Church of England has traditionally engaged in world mission relationships through the Mission Agencies. Each of the Agencies takes their part in God's mission in different ways. Some work overseas and some work in England and others work both overseas and at home. Some work among specific groups or tasks and other Agencies have a general approach to enabling mission in the world church.

These Anglican Mission Agencies are all members of Partnership for World Mission. They work together with the Diocesan Companion Links and other partners in mission both in the Church of England and beyond. The ten major Anglican Mission Agencies are

	Church Army Operating as a society of Evangelists within the Anglican Communion, our mission is about sharing faith through words and action in order to make Jesus famous. Church Army works where the need is greatest - sharing the love of Christ to bring transformation to individuals and communities across the UK and Ireland. At the forefront of the new fresh expressions agenda, Church Army mobilises around 500 evangelists and staff to reach out to people who have little or no connection with the church. Church Army Evangelists are admitted to the office of Evangelists within the Anglican Communion on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury and work under licence from the local Bishop. The society also helps discern the evolving mission of the church through the work of it's internationally respected research arm - The Sheffield Centre.
