Read about our whakapapa, strategy and organisational values.
Weaved throughout our whakapapa (“geneology”, “lineage”, “descent”) is a history of values.
From the Christian, Kingdom driven values of the Five Marks of Mission, to our strategic and operational values that define us as a developmental and aid non governmental organisation (NGO). Anglican Missions is deeply committed to living up to these values so that we can put the love of God into action in order to change lives.
Anglican Missions was first established by the Anglican Church in 1919. Since then, our story has grown – shaped by time, experience and the outworking of the gospel in Aotearoa, Polynesia and around the world.
With the establishment of AWA (“Anglican World Aid Aotearoa”), our whakapapa becomes richer and more vibrant. Our story is moving into a new, exciting chapter.
The stylised bird visually represents our values. Each colour and associated design element represents our story.
Bridging the gap between past and present, Te Ara Hou is our new strategy. It’s supported by three Mission statements:
Mission In Action.
Mission Together.
Mission Profile.
Te Ara Hou charts a course for our work, enabling us to connect with the wider Church.
It also helps us measure our outcomes and achievements, creating alignment and accountability to ourselves and our Board. Read about the values that shape Te Ara Hou below, or download the full strategy document.
