Vision Goals

Nurture and Grow Our Church

We will focus on nurturing the members of our church and growing our church by making sure people are meaningfully involved in the life of the church at all stages of their lives and by paying special attention to people with unique needs, such as those facing the challenges of aging, our youth and others.

Pursue Our Passions

We will encourage people to discover their passions and to pursue them in an environment that is open to new and challenging ideas for spiritual growth.

Empower People to Do Good Works

We will encourage people to use their talents by being willing to embrace new ideas and providing a smoother pathway to helping them carry out these ideas.

Focus on Prayer

We will commit to creating opportunities for personal and corporate prayer in order to strengthen our spiritual ties to God and our relationships to each other.

Belonging

We will recognize the importance of belonging to a friendly, accepting, nurturing community of Christ by actively welcoming others to our church family and helping them find opportunities to connect with others in meaningful ways.

Reaching Out

We will extend the love of Christ to those beyond our doors and membership, by reaching out to them and inviting them into faith and membership.
