Training

What if your church could connect with more people in your community?

Many churches want to reach their communities more effectively, but feel stretched, unsure what works, or overwhelmed by websites, social media, and communication challenges. Mission Labs is a new online series designed to equip Adventist members and leaders with practical ideas, simple tools, and fresh encouragement for local mission. Mission Labs is about helping churches communicate, connect, and grow in mission.

Mission Labs: Quick Summary

• Expected to begin August 2026
• Short online sessions: 20 minutes + 10 minutes Q&A

• Focus: equipping churches to be more effective in building visibility and engagement with their community

You want your church to connect more effectively with the local community. You care about mission. You care about people. But sometimes it feels hard to know what will actually make a difference. If this feels familiar, Mission Labs is for you.

Maybe your church is:

• running outreach events, but not seeing the response you hoped for
• unsure how to use social media or digital tools effectively
• struggling to make your website clear, welcoming, and useful
• finding it hard to build awareness and trust in the community
• Not sure about what sort of program to run or where to start

You are not alone. Many churches are asking the same questions.

Practical support for churches doing their best to reach people well

Mission Labs is being developed by Adventist Media and Ministry Innovation at the South Pacific Division to help local churches take simple, practical next steps in communication, outreach, and community connection. The goal is not just to share ideas. It is to provide useful training, encouragement, and tools that can help members and leaders become more effective in reaching their communities and creating better pathways into relationships, faith conversations, and discipleship.

What Mission Labs is designed to help you do

Mission Labs is designed to help churches move from frustration and uncertainty to clearer, more effective action.
