 What
Is Inter-Mission?
Founded in 1987, INTER-MISSION is a dynamic and unique organization
that has its finger on the pulse of the entertainment industry.
It is comprised of more than 4000 entertainment professionals who
have a love for Jesus Christ, a passion for excellence, and a desire
to effect moral change on popular culture. Our mission is to build
community, equip and edify believers, and foster excellence among
Christian professionals in the entertainment industry so that we
can individually and corporately have a greater impact on shaping
the moral fiber of the industry.
What Does Inter-Mission do?
Professionally, we encourage committed Christians from a diverse
cross-section of Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and evangelical
backgrounds to allow God to lead them to quality moral projects.
Spiritually and personally we provide opportunities for our members
to grow through the strong family of faith Inter-Mission has become.
By strengthening and encouraging Christian industry professionals,
we are changing Hollywood from the inside out--in an organic, positive
way that glorifies Christ.

What Are Inter-Mission Events?
Inter-Mission hosts four to six major events held each year, a national
day of prayer focused on the industry, spiritual retreats and a
variety of professional seminars. Since its inception, Inter-Mission
has experienced an extraordinary awareness of God's presence at
each of our events. From Film/TV actors to award-winning
writers, directors and producers, their professional experiences
and Christian testimonies inspire, encourage and uplift. (See Past

professionals to sister ministries that can meet their spiritual,
personal and professional needs on a more regular basis. These ministries

Premise; and SLATE Fellowship. (See Links)
