"Everyone was called on a church mission to do a fabulous job preaching the gospel."
Is there any mistake in this sentence?
Please correct it and reword it if necessary.

It sounds a bit awkward.
Consider:
Everyone was called on the Church's mission of preaching the gospel.
Everyone, called on the Church's mission of preaching the gospel, was asked to do his/her best.
Everyone, called on the Church's mission of preaching the gospel, was encouraged to do his/her best.

Personally, I would use 'to' rather than 'on'. (called to take part in the mission)
