United Mission exists to make experienced mission support, training, resources and connections more accessible to churches, organisations and individuals engaged in cross-cultural ministry.
Mission is rewarding, but it can also be complex. Cross-cultural workers need good preparation. Churches need the confidence to support people well. Organisations working across cultures face challenges in leadership, staff development, security, cultural understanding and organisational growth.
The aim is simple: to serve you, so that you can serve others well.

Mission practitioners contributing resources
Much of our work happens behind the scenes, supporting ministries already serving in their own contexts rather than seeking to take their place.
United Mission listens first, works collaboratively and strengthens what is already happening.
