OUR MISSION AS GRACE CHURCH

OK, we know what our core values are. (See the March posting.)  The next step is crafting a Mission Statement.  This statement describes how we put our values into action.  Again, members of the congregation met to pray, think, listen, discuss and create the following statement:

We are a Christ-Centered congregation, serving our community by:
  •  Celebrating God's presence
  • Growing in our knowledge and understanding of the Living Word
  • Loving all with the Heart of Christ
Memorize this statement along with the Core Values so that when someone asks you what Grace Church is all about, you can tell them;  Christ, Compassion, Outreach, Hospitality, and Community.  And we put these values into practice by Celebrating, Growing, and Loving.

What's next?  Stay tuned for our Vision Statement.
