where worship is the heartbeat of our corporate and individual lives
Where sharing the Spirit is as natural as breathing
where the wonderful works of God are beheld with joyous awe
where prayer is our common language
where stewardship is considered a privilege
where hospitality is understood as sacred duty
where evangelism is as normative as coffee after church
where hardships are met with courage
where hard hearts are confronted with compassion
where the brokenness of life is continually lifted up to God for healing
where the light of Christ shines forth in our lives in ways that entice more than antagonize
where the gifts and abilities of every person are recognized and utilized
where every member, lay and ordained, feels needed for the spread of God's kingdom both nearby and far away
where the ministry of the bishop is revealed as Christ's gift for the well-being of the church and the focus of its mission
where strangers marvel at how much we love the Lord and each other
...and that all we do bears witness to the power of
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit
