Seeking and Serving to Make God Known
The Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Welsh Mission encompasses Wales and the border counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire. Each week around 800 believers gather for worship in churches and small groups across the territory. Our purpose is to make God known and invite people to become followers of Jesus Christ.


Welsh Mission
Strategic Plan
Our strategic focus for 2025-2028
“Ambassadors of Hope: Christ's Love, Christ's Method, Christ's Disciples”.
The Welsh Mission is committed to being a Christ-centred community that embodies love, compassion, and service, transforming lives through holistic ministry. Our mission is to be Christ’s ambassadors of hope, making disciples for Christ by following Christ’s method alone.
This strategic direction calls our churches to move beyond simply holding programmes. It invites us to build relationships, serve real needs, nurture faith, and help people take meaningful steps in following Jesus.
Christ's Love
We seek to reflect the love of Jesus in the life of every congregation. This means creating churches where people are welcomed, valued, supported, and encouraged in their walk with God.
Through fellowship, worship, prayer, and practical care, we want our churches to be places where members and visitors experience the warmth of Christian community.
Christ's Method
The Welsh Mission’s strategy is shaped by Christ’s method of ministry: mingling with people, showing sympathy, ministering to needs, winning confidence, teaching the gospel, and inviting people to follow Him.
This means encouraging our members and churches to build genuine friendships within their local communities, take part in community life, and use our church buildings as places of service, connection, and hope.
Christ's Disciples
Discipleship remains at the heart of our mission. Each local church is encouraged to develop an active discipleship plan focused on spiritual growth and evangelism, keeping discipleship central to church board planning and local church life.
We also want to strengthen mentoring across the Mission, helping new believers grow in faith by connecting them with mature Christians who can offer guidance, encouragement, and support.
Our Strategic Priorities
Over this strategic period, the Welsh Mission will focus on three key priorities:
1) Promoting social interaction within our churches and communities
We will encourage regular fellowship, friendship-based outreach, community engagement, and the use of church buildings as community hubs.
2) Promoting holistic wellbeing
We will support initiatives that care for physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing, including workshops, seminars, and partnerships with local healthcare providers where appropriate.
3) Providing biblical teaching and discipleship
We will encourage local churches to strengthen Bible teaching, discipleship planning, mentoring, and support for new believers as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.
Moving Forward Together
As local churches across the Welsh Mission embody Christ’s love, adopt His method, live and share the gospel, and invite others to become disciples of Jesus, we believe many will discover the hope and joy found in Him.
Together, we seek to be Ambassadors of Hope: Christ’s Love – Christ’s Method – Christ’s Disciples.
