Ministries & Missions

Our mission is only possible because of God’s grace and providence, also expressed through the greatest resource He has given us, the members of our Community. In the next section, you can read about the many ministries and teams through which our members serve.

Local Outreach Mission and Teams

Our primary outreach is rooted in the founding charism the Lord entrusted to the Community at its establishment in 1987.

Each week, our open Youth Fellowship gatherings provide a space of prayer and encounter. The prayer meetings consist of a time of praise and worship, a talk and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which invite a personal and communal response to the Lord’s Word and Presence. At times the meeting is a celebration of the Eucharist.

Youth Fellowship also provides an opportunity for young people to build lasting friendships, experience a sense of belonging, and engage in service. The Service Team is always present to listen, encourage, and accompany those who seek support.

Other Youth Ministry Sections

Seven

This 7 session course is an excellent way to introduce people to an accompanied interior journey together with the Community. Through a series of 7 sessions that run for 7 weeks, each with a set of 7 Q&As, the aim is to lead the participants to an experiential knowledge of the love and truth of God.

72 & 72+ Discipleship Course

For those who wish to continue deepening their faith and serving within the Community, the journey continues with a Discipleship Course over the period of approximately 3 years.

ACTS Teens

This is a weekly Friday evening meeting for teens and their friends, and for the students the ACTS  Team would have met in their school outreach. The evening consists of  prayer, teaching, games, fun, food and friendship.

Plugged

PLUGGED is a space where pre-teens can find friendship, connection and belonging, while exploring the Gospel and pursuing a personal relationship with Jesus, through fellowship, activities, teachings and the sacraments.

ACTS School Outreach Programme

This is a team of young people dedicated to connecting with students in schools to convey the reality of God and His unconditional love. Each school presentation is thoughtfully designed to be engaging while delivering a clear, and undiluted message.

Other Local Outreaches and Meetings

Lamps Street Outreach

Outside the chapel and on the streets, our Teams reach out to passersby with food, drink, and a friendly smile—creating simple but meaningful moments of encounter. We offer the opportunity to share faith and give witness, and we invite those who are open to step inside the chapel to pray before the Blessed Sacrament.

Alive on Sunday

This Mass organised once a month in English is a great way to make contact with new people as well as with those who are not members of the Community but appreciate the way Eucharist is prayerfully animated by the Team and so attend regularly.

Connect

A monthly meeting to help adults in their 30s and 40s to connect deeper with God whilst forging new and meaningful connections with each other.

Anawim

This team exists to reach out to individuals, families, people in institutions that need moral and practical support. One of the initiatives is helping out in the soup kitchen in Valletta.

International Missions

Living Waters

The Team and its volunteers serve in Ethiopia through missionary, evangelistic, and pastoral work. They help finance and oversee several water projects, and organise formation weekends for catechists and youth in various parishes.

International Collaboration

We partner with other groups to help in the organisation of international conferences as well as short-term missions both in Malta and abroad. Over the years, we have collaborated with communities and teams from the US, Canada, Poland, France, the UK, Lithuania, and Italy.

Inreach Mission and Teams

Many Community members serve in various teams whose mission it is to reach out to members of the Community, help organise its events, keep the practical things running and foster unity in diversity.

Intercession Team

The Intercession Team meets to pray for the community members, special prayer requests as well as the various outreach events.

Couples Team

The Couples Team reaches out to both those married and those approaching marriage within the Community.  Through its various meetings and initiatives, the Team supports, encourages and helps couples enrich their marriages and Christian family life.

Children's Team

The Children’s Team gives our numerous children an experience of the Christian faith lived in the community which they too belong to. In various creative and fun ways, the Team makes every effort to help them integrate from a young age and to build their own friendships.

Inreach Team

The Inreach Team reaches out to members in the community who may be in need of practical assistance, and organises visits to people who are in hospital or unwell at home. It also organises a number of fellowship events to encourage  relationship building amongst the members of the community.

Bethel

Bethel, as the name suggests, oversee the upkeep and maintenance of the Community Meeting Places.

Doulos

Doulos is our hospitality and ushering team which takes care of logistical requirements of community meeting and events.

Liturgy Team

The Liturgy Team takes care of the overall preparation and co-ordination of all liturgical celebrations.

Tech Teams

The Lights, Sound and AV Teams are those teams without which our larger meetings would not exist. Their work ranges from keeping the sound top notch, to screening the audio visuals, to online streaming and keeping the stage and hall lit appropriately for all our events.

Leadership Structure

The Community is led by the Council, which carries responsibility for the overall mission and vision of the Community. Alongside the Council, the Pastoral Group and the Cenacolo & Team Leadership Team—made up of many leaders with different areas of responsibility—meet regularly for prayer and for ongoing formation in leadership. These times together also strengthen unity, discernment, and the call to serve faithfully.
