More Information

This is not your mother’s School of Christian Mission or even the recent Mission u format. The newer
Mission u format encourages intergenerational and diverse sharing, shorter lesson options and
resource support. So, we encourage you to invite others from your community to join us and then
share it with your home church community.


For additional information visit here or, contact: Diana Davis (Dean), Beth Jayapalan (Assistant Dean), Betty
Erickson (Registrar) or Mari Schirmer (Assistant Registrar) at nilumw.registrar@gmail.com.
