Ministry Statement

 

​

1. Identity

​

"Committed to historic Reformed faith and practice, we are a local and regional congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America, which is a branch of the universal Church of Jesus Christ."

 

2. Mission

​

"Our mission as a congregation is to glorify God through biblical worship, discipleship, and evangelism at home and abroad."

3. Vision

"By principle and providence, we think the Lord calls us to be: 

• a model Reformed church in the PCA; 

• a leader in Word-centered, traditional worship;

• a fount of excellent Christian education and application;

• a safe, friendly place for people of all ages;

• a fellowship growing locally and regionally."

4. Goals

"To reach this vision, we commit ourselves to the following: 

• Faithfully protecting the faith, life, and future of the congregation through a strong Session, committed to guarding the Reformed doctrine and practice in this church;

• Faithfully pursuing the Word read, preached, sung, prayed, and seen each Lord's Day morning and evening;

• Faithfully exercising Christ-given teaching gifts to educate ourselves, our children, the ministry, and the world biblically and theologically through Sunday School, Bible studies, children's choirs, the classroom, and the web;

• Faithfully shepherding children, families, singles, and seniors, through pastoral care, child protection, and spiritual counsel;

• Faithfully providing a God-honoring, visible, and conveniently-located facility not just for ourselves but also for the others the Lord will add for the generation to come."
