What is your Congregation's Mission Statement?

• The job of the deacons/servants is to tend to the needs of widows. It may reasonably be assumed their job may extend to orphans and other needy people, We tend to think their job is to tend to mundane mechanical issues unrelated to people-serving, such as lawn-mowing and light-bulb changing.
   
• The job of missionaries, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and shepherds is to perfect the saints to the work of serving, and to grow the body into a unified mature whole. We tend to think their job is to provide academic information.
  
  
• The job of assemblers is to prod one another to love and good works, to exhort one another, and to build up the body. We tend to think their job is to perform liturgical acts in honor of God.
  
  
• In his first public sermon of his ministry, Jesus said he was sent to preach good news to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. If we are to be like him, our focus should be to sponsor college students and to teach one another to help the impoverished, to be comforters, to become defense lawyers, to do medical research, to free those being crushed by sadness or debt or the woes of life (mental health/social fields), and to proclaim a societal "reset" that gives relief via a reconciliation between God and Human.
