Global Missions Committee

The Global Missions Committee was formed in 2018 to build and maintain a close ACC humanitarian connection with our Global Anglican Missions, providing them with the resources and support to help them achieve their long-term goals. The GMC provides funds to our overseas Bishops in their missionary efforts to create sustainable resources and programs such as medical centers, schools, orphanages, and more for communities in need.

Recipient Bishops propose their project plan detailing how the program would be of critical benefit to the local community as well as a clear breakdown of their anticipated project expenses and the expected outcomes for sustaining infrastructure needs. Once the details have been worked out and a project is approved, the GMC also serves in an advisory capacity to guide these Bishops concerning project needs or topics where they may not have experiential data to guide them.
