One with Christ, One with Each Other, One in Ministry to All the World

Where We Are Headed

Faithful Outcomes: New congregations. New disciples. More churches showing vitality.  More churches attentive to their neighbors. More professions of faith. More people in worship. More people in mission. More people growing in holiness. More signs of multiplication. Ultimately: the transformation of the world.

Accountability: It is important to evaluate the effectiveness of leadership of every area of our organization. To be accountable to the Strategic Direction, clergy and laity will implement action items 1 and 2 of each priority in their churches and ministries and Conference staff and leadership will implement action item 3 of each priority. We will all hold each other accountable to these tasks. Objective metric systems will be used to measure our fruitfulness, but even more, we will be looking for signs of God's transformative powers among us.

We believe God is using our church to

“save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures,

and spread scriptural holiness,

thereby changing the world.”1 May it be so!
