Our Vision: To live as disciples of Christ. We accept God’s call to know, experience and share God’s transforming love. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 Vision Strategy: • Passionately put God first every day in all that we do. As we make daily choices, we yearn to discern God’s will and desire, thus putting aside our personal agendas and worldly endeavors. “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’... But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.” Matthew 6:31, 33 • Faithfully live new lives in Christ. As we come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we are born again through our baptism into transformed lives focused on God. We thereby surrender our self-centered lives and live God’s purpose for us. “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 • Boldly share the Gospel. We readily share the Good News through spoken witness and daily living so others may experience the boundless gift of God’s love and grace. “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 • Eagerly serve others. As part of the Body of Christ, we follow the example of Jesus and extend God’s infinite love by serving others through mission and good works. “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40 In all that we do, may the glory be to God! |
