| Vision Statement |
Gathering, Growing, Giving, Going...In GraceWhere there is no vision, the people perish. - Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) Saint Francis United Methodist Church exists to be a fellowship of believers who seek to show to others the spiritual freedom and wholeness found in Jesus Christ. It is in gratitude to God for the love given to us that we seek to lead lives which exhibit to others our love for them and our concern for their own spiritual, mental, emotional, material, and physical well-being. We are a community of believers joined together for meaningful and joyful worship and the celebration of the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper as a way of expressing our gratitude for God's love and for the remembrance of what has been done for us through Christ. We offer to those who come to us means by which their minds and spirits are nurtured in the Christian Faith. This nurturing occurs through teaching, in the fellowship we share with one another, and by the example of our lives. We choose to be a church that actively involves itself in the joyous task of telling others about the good news of the hope Christ has given to the world. We take seriously the need for the Church to be involved in ministries of service to people who are in need. We are a church committed to the inclusion in our fellowship of all people, regardless of race, social status, or other condition which might cause their exclusion, who seek the grace of God and desire to uphold the church with their prayers, presence, gifts, and service. |
