Mission Emphasis Themes

The following list of mission emphasis themes is meant to help you choose a topic or message that you want to build a mission emphasis event/service around. The theme can influence the choice of music, sermons, and decorations. 

Consider the needs of your church. What are the mission priorities of your congregation? What is on people's hearts? What theme might connect with the mission work your church is involved with? You may want to center your theme on a certain passage or verse in Scripture. A hymn or song with a mission focus may also influence your choice of theme. This can be sung during the service to reinforce the theme.

Use your theme to promote your mission emphasis event. Use it in your bulletins and other print pieces, as a banner in the front of the sanctuary, or on PowerPoint slides for the service. Once your theme is chosen, be sure to advise everyone involved. The participants should have enough notice so as to be able to plan their part (messages, music, decorations, etc.) around the theme.

The themes listed below can be used as they are, but feel free to do a variation of any of the suggestions.
