Mission Statement

The great ends of the church are the proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind; the shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship of the children of God; the maintenance of divine worship; the preservation of the truth; the promotion of social righteousness; and the exhibition of the Kingdom of Heaven to the World.

A congregation of Presbyterian Church (USA) we affirm these great ends as set forth in the constitution of the Presbyterian Church (USA) (see above) and we express our solidarity with those aims in our mission statement:

As God’s children we are called to be caring and prayerful people, faithfully following Christ’s example:

• by preaching the good news of salvation made possible by His death and resurrection in creative, corporate worship,

• by striving  to live as a family of love and justice sharing in the joys and sorrows of our members and reaching out to others in need,

• by growing in the knowledge of God’s will for our lives through Bible study, daily prayer and participating in the Church’s educational offerings, and

• by giving our resources to this fellowship, the Church and the community beyond.

Recognizing that our only sure comfort in life and death is that we belong to Jesus Christ, we accept this mission  in furtherance of our baptismal vows, strengthened and nourished through communion with the Holy Spirit.
