Mission Statement
The mission of Faith Presbyterian Church is
to be an inclusive and welcoming community sharing the Good News of God's
grace and love in the name of Jesus Christ and in the spirit of His life and
teachings. We are committed to ministries of compassion and social justice
in our diverse local and global communities. We seek to nurture, under the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, a Presbyterian witness within our congregation
and in the world around us. We welcome participation in the full life of the
church by all persons, regardless of race, color, national origin, age,
gender, sexual orientation, or physical ability.
Our church’s sense of mission is guided and informed by a social reading of the Bible which locates that the heart of the Gospel in the witness of many Scripture passages. (I John 4:16, Matthew 25: 37-40; Micah 6:8; James 2: 18; Matthew 22: 37-39).
Rather than interpreting the Bible primarily in individualistic terms, our church is seeking to address the broader social implications of the Gospel that impact our lives, our community, and the larger world around us.
As our Mission Statement suggests, our congregation appreciates the inclusive nature of God's love in Jesus Christ which calls us to move beyond our fears and prejudices to break down barriers created by racism, nationalism, sexual orientations, and economic injustices. In the worship and ministries of our church we seek to raise our voices on behalf of peace amid the waring madness of our world and to seek the common good for our communities in ways that provide all people with dignity and respect.
