Serving at the Mission, Going Into Our World
At the Mission Cincinnati, we take seriously Christ’s call to His followers to SERVE and GO. We seek to grow in the likeness of Christ who Himself came not to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. We see this servant-leadership of Jesus most powerfully embodied in the cross as well as the Upper Room where, on the night He was betrayed, Jesus knelt down and washed the feet of His followers. We seek to do the same for others in our midst as a church community, and then we seek to go out into our city and beyond, making disciples and serving the least, the last, and the lonely.
How We Serve
There are many ways to get involved in serving at The Mission. We discuss our full theology of service and mission, as well as personally help newcomers make connections and take next steps as a part of our Mission Pathways process. You can also connect to serving opportunities with us using the links below!
SERVING ON SUNDAYS
Sundays at The Mission are not a spectator sport! It takes a village to lead a worship service which is why we invite all of our members and regular attenders at the Mission to serve with us as a part of one of our Hospitality & Welcome Teams, Usher Team, Reset & Setup Teams, A/V Teams, and Mission Kids & Nursery Teams. Interested in serving with us on Sundays? Take a moment to fill out the serving interest form and someone from our team will be in touch!
How We Go
As followers of Jesus, we pray “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” and then we seek to GO into our world, joining God in the ways He is revealing His Kingdom in our city, country, and world.
GOING INTO OUR CITY
We love our city and we believe God has called us to pray for our city and to seek its welfare. Members of The Mission are actively involved in serving with numerous community ministry partners throughout the city. We also partner with our host church, who provides weekly meals to our community, has a small food pantry, and seeks to bless our community in other ways, whether that is by providing fans to people during the months of extreme heat or building a fire pit for Norwood high school students to enjoy.

GOING INTO OUR NATION & WORLD
We love our world, and as Anglicans we are connected to a large family of believers spread across our country and world. Thus, we regularly pray for and seek connections with our brothers and sisters across the globe who are sharing the Gospel both in word and deed. Currently, our church supports two missionaries, and both our pastors, as well as a number of our congregants, have spent time in short-term and long-term missions.
