St. Paul Ministries PDF Print E-mail
A very loose definition of Ministries as opposed to Missions is this: Ministries are activities and programs that the church does for its members and in support of its facitities and programs in order to further God's mission in this world.

Missions or Mission Outreach is what the church does for others in response to injunctions by the Christ.

There may be some overlap between these two activities.
