Presbyterians: As we say, so we do.

     Presbyterians are facing the 21st century with a vision of ministry that is vibrant and inviting and reflects the love and justice of Jesus Christ. The denomination has set four mission priorities for the next phase of our life as the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.):

Evangelism
We are called to invite all people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, by working for growth and renewal of individuals and congregational families of faith.

Justice
We are called to redress wrongs in every aspect of life and the whole of creation, working with the poor and the powerless, whom Jesus loves, even at risk to our corporate and personal lives.

Spiritual Formation
We are called to study and reflect on Holy Scripture, praying with one another for insight and clarity, so that the Holy Spirit might mold our lives more and more into the likeness of Jesus Christ, the living word.

Partnership
We are called to forge a vital partnership with one another, marked by mutual respect, openness, daily repentance, and forgiveness.

     With the knowledge that in life and death we belong to God, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) continues the journey with hope and confidence as we move toward a third century of witness and service to a world in need of love.

"In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God's new heaven and new earth praying, 'Come Lord Jesus.'"
