New Mission/Purpose for Cornerstone U.M.C.

“The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.” (Psalms 138:8)

I am pleased to announce that our church’s top leadership group (Church Council) recently received and adopted a recommendation from our new Vision Team for a newly articulated Mission/Purpose for Cornerstone UMC, which is as follows: 

Creating a community that reflects the love of Jesus by

 

1) Nurturing individuals through healing and spiritual growth;

 

2) Connecting groups through relationships; and

 

3) Impacting our diverse world through acts of service

 

The mission we’ve adopted above describes what we feel to be our church’s DNA and “reason for being” -- it captures the essence of Cornerstone’s current ministry and work as a congregation of Jesus Christ.  Our members and friends will start seeing and hearing more about this new mission (and perhaps even some further renditions of it that are shorter and more “marketable”) in future church communications.

 

However, I wanted to share its adoption with you today as a new articulation of the foundation out of which – over the next few months -- our church’s Vision Team will be prayerfully discerning God’s Vision together for the next 2-5 years of our future.

 

Remember that God loves you and I do, too!
