History and Administrative Structure of the Missions Department

Establishment of the Missions Ministry

With the establishment of the new Mizoram UPC on 1st April 1995, the Missions ministry was organised not as a separate department, but as a unified Missions Board. At the local Church and Sectional levels, the ministry functioned under the supervision of the Church leadership.

The office bearers during the formative years were:

• Chairman: Elder Z. Lalzidinga (L) (1995–1997)

• Secretary: Elder F. Vanlalrema (1995–1997)

• Treasurer: Mrs. Vanlalmuani Sailo (1996)

Formation of Home and Foreign Missions

During the General Assembly of 1997, the Missions Board was officially divided into two wings:

• Home Missions

• Foreign Missions

Subsequently, the General Assembly of 1999 clarified the operational boundaries of the two divisions:

• Mission works within India were placed under Home Missions

• Mission works outside India were designated as Foreign Missions

Transition into a Full-Fledged Department

Recognising the growing scope and importance of mission work, the General Assembly of 2003 resolved to strengthen the ministry's organisational structure. It was decided that Missions would no longer function solely as a Board but would be established as a fully functioning Department.

The Assembly also resolved that:

• Complete office bearers should be formed at both the Section and Local Church levels.

• At the Area level, a separate Missions Department would not be established.

• Every Area should conduct an Area Missions Revival at least once annually.

Accordingly, from 2004 onward, the General Missions Department began operating from its own office within the Mizoram UPC Office Building and gradually developed into a fully organised department.

Missions Manual and Organisational Development

To ensure greater clarity, accountability, and systematic administration, the Missions Manual was first prepared in 2017. A revised and enlarged edition was later published in 2020. In 2026, further amendments were incorporated to align the manual with the evolving global context and with amendments to the Mizoram UPC Constitution. As a result, the Missions Manual continues to be updated and strengthened to meet contemporary ministry needs.

Present Administrative Structure

1. General Conference

The General Conference is the highest governing authority of the General Missions Department under the General Assembly. It oversees all matters relating to mission administration and policy.

For practical convenience, the Conference is generally convened once every two years.

Representatives from various Mission Fields gather during the Conference to participate in:

• Worship services reflecting diverse cultural backgrounds

• Mission reports and presentations

• Ministry activities and special programs

• Deliberations on important matters concerning the advancement of missions

The Conference serves as a vital platform for spiritual fellowship, cultural exchange, vision-sharing, and collective decision-making.

2. General Board

The General Board functions as the governing body during years when the General Conference is not held, acting on behalf of the Conference.

The Board is composed of:

• One representative from each Section of Mizoram UPC

• Area Supervisors from the mission fields

The General Board is responsible for:

• Reviewing and approving departmental budgets

• Discussing ministry developments

• Making administrative and policy decisions concerning mission work

3. Missions Fields and Areas

At present, the Home Missions ministry is divided into five administrative Areas:

1. North Eastern India Area I

2. North Eastern India Area II

3. North Bengal Area

4. Eastern India Area

5. Central India Area

Each Area is supervised by an Area Supervisor, a highly important administrative leadership position within the Missions Department. The churches within these five Areas are further organised into 18 Mission Fields, each entrusted to a designated Field Pastor responsible for pastoral care, administration, and ministry oversight.
