Our Statement of Vision

We currently function through a set of vision and values developed by the congregation in 2022. These statements tell the reason we exist, the role of our church, a picture of what we want to be in five years, and the principles and standards that determine our actions and priorities. The goals are the ways in which the vision and values are brought to life.
