God creates and calls us; Jesus reconciles and redeems us; the Spirit energizes and empowers us for worship, love, and service! In response to God’s love and forgiveness, we pledge to inspire each other through prayer, study, and stewardship; to cultivate an open, caring Church, where diverse gifts are discovered, respected, and employed. We also pledge to minister faithfully to the poor, lonely, sick, and those in need; to reach out, sharing our faith, inviting, and welcoming others into our fellowship; and to seek justice and healing in the Church, community, and through out the world.

The reason for our Mission statement:

  1. The mission statement enables us as a Church to pull together all of its understandings about the dynamics of Church life.
  2. The mission statement helps us fully define our task.
  3. The mission statement helps us to understand our unique work by particularizing our mission.
  4. The mission statement gives Church leaders definite criteria by which to judge both short-term and long-term plans.
