The mission of the church is to discern, celebrate, and participate in God’s redemptive activity in the world.  To enhance our participation in God’s mission, the Hi-Plains Area Partners in Mission program has been created to offer congregations and individuals an opportunity to underwrite cooperative educational events and retreats designed to resource those who have answered God’s call to ministry, equipping them to better lead their congregations in mission to our communities, our nation and our neigbors throughout the world. All persons who purchase Individual Memberships and all members of participating churches, clergy and laity alike, will receive deep discounts on retreat fees throughout the year. The Partners in Mission program  is a good value for churches who sponsor multiple participants in the Area’s Gatherings of the Clergy [formerly Licensed Ministers Retreats]. Partners in Mission membership is open to congregations and individuals alike—anyone who wants to help assure the continuation of quality educational events in our Area. The cost of membership varies dependent upon a congregation’s size. See the table below:   Size of Congregation Yearly Membership Fee Individual Membership*   $200 100 or Less   $250 100-200   $300 200-300   $350 300-400   $400 400-500   $450 500 or More   $500 *Spouses of persons who hold Individual Memberships may attend events at the same discounted rates.
