Our Vision

Purpose: To equip and encourage our members to invite, welcome, receive, and care for all individuals so they may encounter the love and grace of God in Jesus Christ.

Priorities:

• People: Recruiting and training Greeter team to cover parking lots, all entrances to the church, and Connection Points so that every person receives a minimum of two "welcome touches"
• Facilities: Better signage, visitor parking, greater handicap accessibility, and transportation as needed
• Community: Improve visibility and invitation (parade, tourist info, signage, etc.)

Purpose: To glorify God, to nourish the faith of our members, and to provide an invitation and entryway for others to come to faith.

Priorities:

• Clarify and communicate the unique style, purpose, and vision of each worship experience.
• Continually research and implement fresh ideas and practices, including use of current technology, to enrich worship.
• Incorporate the diverse creative gifts of the church and community in all services.
• Create opportunities for open discussion and introduction to worship for those seeking to know more.

Purpose: To provide substantive opportunities for all to gain a deeper understanding (head and heart) of God and grow in their faith as committed followers of Jesus Christ.

Priorities:

• Create new opportunities and increase participation in transformational, life-stage-specific Bible study, Sunday School, and small groups for all ages.
• Involve more people in intergenerational fellowship, study, mentoring, and encouragement.
• Intentionally address needs of persons facing difficulties in faith journey (among these are divorce, grief, health, financial).

Purpose: To encourage and equip persons to respond to human need through financial giving as well as “hands-on” experiences in mission in the community and beyond.

Priorities:

• Sustain strong financial support of selected mission projects
• Develop opportunities and expectations for participation in "hands-on" mission locally, nationally, and internationally.
• Communicate focus, goals, numbers, and needs and celebrate successes.
