We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Matt Frizzell to our Mission Centre! As one of the newly named Apostles, to be ordained at next year’s World Conference, Matt brings a wealth of experience in theology and leadership. With a Ph.D. in Theology and Ethics and previous roles at Graceland University and the Community of Christ Seminary, Matt now serves as the church’s denominational administrator, supporting over 200 ministers worldwide.

During my time as a leadership advisor, I recognised the need for more direct conversations with World Church leaders about the future of our church and how we can navigate the transformation of the Mission Centre. Matt’s visit presents a valuable opportunity for mobile small group discussions, focused on our church’s purpose, Christian ethics, and leadership in a changing world.

From October 26th to November 11th, To broaden access, we have introduced a mobile ministry model to ensure members from various regions across the East Coast can engage with these important conversations.

Online connection points: For those unable to meet Matt in person. (Zoom links will be provided as the event date approaches)
