Lead Christian communities in their discernment of that mission; |

|
|
|
|
Strengthen those communities through the leading and enabling of worship which is both relevant and creative; |
|
|
|
|
|
Empower those communities through the care and encouragement of individuals and through teaching from the resources of Scriptures, tradition, reason and experience; |
|
|
|
|
|
Discern and enable the ministries of others; |
|
|
|
|
|
Provide an example of lives characterised by prayer, service and self-awareness after the example of Christ. |

In addition, SWMTC aims to foster theological exploration throughout the region it serves, through teaching, research, and community-based initiatives. |
