The face of mission has truly changed!  The nature of mission in today’s world is quite different from what it was 7 years ago when we first started our journey.  Mission is the life blood of the church, and today's world must have unity in the midst of our diversity.  Through partnerships like the ones available through CESERSE and the PCUSA Congregational, Presbytery and Synod Partnerships in Cuba we encourage each other in faith and are given glimpses of a time when all things are gathered together in Christ.  Below is a sample program of opportunities available for mission and cultural exchange.
