Our Vision and Mission

We have been engaged in the exciting process of exploring, discerning and redefining our vision and mission for the years to come.  The study of Scripture has helped to identify God's Purpose, "why" the Church exists.   This is the foundation we use as we seek God's vision for our church in this place and this time.   Reach, Teach, and Serve are themes central to our biblical purpose.  
 

Reach: Because God loves each one of us so much, we are compelled to share that love with all other people.  This might mean traveling across the globe on mission trips, or helping nearby victims of natural disasters rebuild homes, or taking the time to get to know a visitor to a church service, or showing compassion to a church member in the hospital.  God leads us to others, and God leads others to us, so that we can be vessels of God's Love to them.

Teach: It is not enough for us merely to receive the blessings of God's Love.  God calls us to commit ourselves to living in that Love, devoting our minds, our bodies, and our souls to obedience to God's leadership in our lives.  Serving God as we were created to do requires that we learn--and relearn--the fundamentals of our faith and how to live out our faith.  Often, we find that the techniques that would makes us successful in the secular world go against what God's Word teaches, so we are in a constant renewing of our minds to focus again on how God wants us to live.  

Serve: When we have found God and made God a part of our lives, and when we are practicing our devotion to God in mind, body, and soul, the natural outcome is for each of us to commit ourselves to serving others.  The phrase "servant evangelism" is new to our Christian vernacular, but it expresses the ancient example set for us by Jesus Christ.  Words are cheap, but action is priceless, and if we long for others to experience the joy of God in their lives, we must demonstrate who God is to them by our service to them.

"How" and "when" we carry out this purpose is clarified by the vision.  A vision is dynamic, specific and motivates to action.  It reflects the future direction of this church and gives focus to our ministry as we live out the biblical purpose in the communities around us.  Join us in this journey to discern the VISION for Peace UMC.  Click here to see more details about the Visioning Process.
