Faith
Lutheran Church will be a unified, supportive ministry, serving each
other through worship, witnessing and Christian Education, inviting
all to grow in Christ’s love. We will be a visible anchor in our
community, sharing faith, witnessing Christ, Gathering and guiding
our neighbors, encouraging them to join our family.
Our Mission – “Connecting Families to One Another in Christ!”
Our mission as a congregation flows directly from the Mission Statement of the mission statement of the Synod.
LCMS Mission Statement: In
grateful response to God’s grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit
through Word and Sacraments, the mission of the LCMS is vigorously to
make known the love of Christ by word and deed within our churches,
communities and the world.
As we developed our plan, the guiding core values are as follows:
1. Christian Education is important to bring people closer to Christ.
2. Fellowship and Caring Relationships under gird our Unity in Christ.
3. Stewardship of God’s resources propels our vision and growth toward the future.
4. Growth of God’s Kingdom in depth and breadth is our primary focus.
5. Worship based on God’s Word maintains our Confessional integrity.
Additionally,
two Aspirational Values for future ministry have surfaced, for which we
will hold each other accountable and which we will not compromise as we
go forward in our walk with Christ:
6.
Sharing the Gospel with our Community through strategic means and
methods is a strong guiding principle for development of programs and
processes of ministry.
7.
Meeting the needs of our Community both in the physical and spiritual
realms is the bullseye of the target we are shooting for in planning
and development of our congregation.
