The Witness Season mission education emphasis, so designated by the 212th General Assembly (2000), is a gathering point for information and resources about the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in mission. The cornerstone of this emphasis is the Witness Season Web site, which stresses learning about and getting involved with mission in this country and overseas. Here you will find minutes for mission, Bible reflections, frequently asked questions, a guide to mission resources, ways to be involved and opportunities to tell your congregation’s mission stories. Come celebrate all that God is doing in and through the PC(USA). Help make sure every season is Witness Season!
