What is a Church Partner Forum?

Twice a year we invite church mission leaders to Orlando to engage more deeply on mobilizing your congregation. At a Church Partner Forum, you'll gather with like-minded Christian leaders who share your concerns. Meet our staff and bring your questions to the table. Come away with new connections and creative ways to help, prepare, guide and support your missionaries.

Church Partner Forums are held to cultivate the relationship between local churches and Pioneers. These gatherings allow us to become better acquainted with each other, as we look to the Lord for His vision in carrying out the Great Commission.

We believe the local church is at the heart of God's redemptive plan. There is nothing more exciting than working together toward the completion of this unfinished task.” – Steve Richardson, President of Pioneers-USA

Together, we will...

Explore how partnership and networking can help your church sharpen your missions focus, mobilize members for global missions, and maximize your church's impact among the unreached.

Learn creative ways to help, prepare, guide, and support your prospective and experienced missionaries.

Church partner forums are conversations in which local church leaders have the opportunity to provide input that helps Pioneers serve churches more effectively.

The forum begins with an opening dinner and session on Wednesday evening, a full day of learning and discussion on Thursday, and continued interaction Friday morning concluding with lunch together.

As your host, Pioneers is honored to offer each church four registrations free of charge. We ask participants to provide their own transportation to and from Orlando. We will pick you up from and return you to the airport.

Sample discussion

  • Identifying & qualifying potential candidates from your congregation
  • Local church mobilization
  • Proactive church/agency partnership
  • Proactive sending & care accountability
  • Evaluation of unreached people
