Disciples making Disciples through the strength and
guidance of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we strive to bring
the Good News of Christ Crucified not only to the members of our
Parish community but also to the wider community where we live.
We support our ministry through prayerful stewardship of our time,
talent and treasure.
Our mission is to recognize and remember God in our daily
lives and to remove the barriers that separate people from the
knowledge and love of Him.
In support of our mission and as Disciples, we:
Join others in committing to Christ. We are
joined to the body of Christ. We are joined to the body of Christ
through baptism. Our Baptismal Covenant outlines what we believe
and what we promise to do.
Worship together. We come together as a family
to worship God, to praise God, to hear God's word, to offer prayer
and to receive the sacraments. Through avenues such as music and
singing, we, the community of believers, praise God and rejoice
in God's love.
Know the Bible. We ground our spiritual lives
in Biblical teaching. We provide opportunities to learn the Bible
and to apply it to our lives.
Embrace spirituality. We strive to discover
by prayer, study, service and fellowship the nature of God's love.
We offer opportunities through programs and small groups to become
involved and exercise our gifts and talents.
Practice stewardship. In gratitude and as set
out in the Bible, we give back a portion of our time and money
to nurture our Church family and the world around us. We recognize
that keeping commitments enhances the church's mission and failing
to do so hinders it.
