Mission Statement
The church is people called for a purpose. The Presbyterian Confession of 1967 reminds, “Wherever the church exists, its corporate members are both gathered in corporate life and dispersed in society for the sake of mission in the world.” The Book of Order states that, “The great ends of the church are the proclamation of the gospel for salvation of humankind; the shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship of the children of God; the maintenance of divine worship; the preservation of the truth; the promotion of social righteousness; and the exhibition of the Kingdom of Heaven to the world.”
