In addition to the organization of the College in [[Levantia]], the College has erected "Mission Areas", administrative jurisdictions outside Levantia for the purpose of missionary activity and spreading the faith. The majority of active mission areas in the late 2020s are in [[Alshar]], with a sizeable and growing number being in [[Crona]]. Mission Areas function under a shared jurisdictional basis, with individual congregations and metropole-like "regions" functioning in an area, while a growing number of missions also include independently operating "faith engagement groups", non-clerical organizations of volunteers which preach to local populations. The faith engagement groups are known to be more {{wp|Evangelical Christian|Evangelical}} in theological outlook and temperament than the primary Collegiate hierarchy. | In addition to the organization of the College in [[Levantia]], the College has erected "Mission Areas", administrative jurisdictions outside Levantia for the purpose of missionary activity and spreading the faith.
