Board of Mission and Resourcing (BOMAR)

The purpose of the Board of Mission and Resourcing (BOMAR) is:

• To encourage the church at the grass roots to discern the will of God for ministry and mission in their own context, and to work towards its fulfilment;
• To facilitate access to the broadest possible base of church resources;
• To resource local ministry and mission;
• To establish a priorities process that ensures the funding of the most widely supported projects;
• To encourage cooperative, consultative processes that reduce the competitive and adversarial nature of our current culture;
• To facilitate decisions by a collective group of representatives of the whole church.

Membership includes two representatives of each presbytery plus one alternate, others appointed by the Synod, with other people able to be co-opted to achieve a balance of gender, ethnicity, age and lay/ordained.

All meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at the Synod Office (130 Little Collins Street, Melbourne), commencing at 11am, unless otherwise advised.
