Our Mission: Discovering and Displaying Christ In Here and Out There
A mission statement is so much more than a sign on a wall or a phrase on the letterhead or homepage. Its purpose is to remind us of who we are and what we are to do as followers of Christ. Christ is literally and figuratively at the center of our mission and purpose. The Christian life involves not only proclaiming Christ in word and deed, but also discovering what the living Christ is “up to” in the church and in the world. Church isn’t so much a building, but something that we are (the Body of Christ) and something we do together collectively and individually as we’re sent out into the world with the good news of Christ.
Our vision for ministry and mission: Faithfully journeying with Christ along:
- The path of worship (honoring God)
- The path of discipleship (learning and apprenticing the faith)
- The path of hospitality (building relationships and bridges)
- The path of mercy (caring for the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of the faith community and community at large)
- The path of mission (sharing the good news locally & globally in word and deed).
