Welcome to the Global Episcopal Mission Network!

The Global Episcopal Mission Network (GEMN) is an association of dioceses committed to the principle that every Episcopalian is a missionary. GEMN engages dioceses, congregations and individuals in God's global mission by: El Salvador

  • assisting dioceses in developing and strengthening their mission programs and ministries outside their dioceses;
  • providing a training curriculum for Global Mission Agents who will strengthen and support global mission efforts in their diocese;
  • creating an annual forum (Institute) for education, training and exchange of global mission ideas and initiatives;
  • encouraging the establishment of mission committees in all dioceses; and
  • encouraging and supporting mutually responsible and interdependent relationships and accountability among dioceses within the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion.

GEMN convenes an annual meeting of member dioceses during its annual World Mission Education Institute.

GEMN's Formation of Diocesan Global Mission Agents Program is a two-year program designed to increase mission awareness and activities in Episcopal dioceses. In addition to attendance at the World Mission Educaiton Institute, participants meet in a half-day session immediately preceding the Institute, complete required readings and carry out an appropriate fieldwork assignment.
