Christ Church Mission Statement
Christ Church is a Christian community, responding to the love of God by worship,
spiritual nurture and active social concern.
Christ Church Vision
The Christ Church family shares the vision of “active social concern” our mission statement proclaims.
As we welcome our neighbors in worship and fellowship, we will grow in community.
As the words of the song say, “They will know we are Christians by our Love!”
At Christ Church we will continue to work towards creating a safe and nurturing place for both mature Christians and those new to the Church.
We will strive to understand our lives in Christ through formal educational programs such as EFM, and also in informal educational programs.
We will continue to be an open and affirming community of faith.
We Believe......
That our Christian life is centered in the profession of faith and promises we make
in our Baptismal Covenant:
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
We Promise To.......
Continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread,
and in the prayers.
Persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord.
Proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ.
Seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as our self.
Strive for justice and peace for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity
of every human being.
