In 2006, Newark Presbytery approved then began to implement its mission design. It is a design that welcomes adaptation as the real world experiences inform its particulars. At the Leadership Conference at Bloomfield College in 2007, the General Presbyter offered two thematic goals designed to move the entire presbytery forward in mission in measurable ways:
Every congregation and pastor will commit themselves to ministry:
Wellness and Effectiveness .
When the presbytery redirects its energy and resources outward in the world, the promise of our world experiencing God's love becomes attainable. Our future will not be realized by accident, but can be realized when every church, every pastor and congregational leader starts where they are and commits continued ministry wellness and effectiveness.
