CALVARY'S MISSION & VISION

 

Mission

A church Mission Statement defines the leadership's vision of congregational purpose and tells you if their vision is in line with God's purposes for your life.

Calvary United Methodist Church is a historic church whose diverse people are guided by God to serve the community with acceptance, care, and love for ALL.

 

Vision

A Vision Statement helps congregations acknowledge their past (who they were when they were established), identify their present (who they are now), and prepare for their future (who the church wants to be one, three, or five years from now). A Vision always looks forward, to what can be.

We will grow our family of faith to embrace all people. We will develop ministries that nurture and encourage all people to discover and use their spiritual gifts on a journey of faith to serve the community and world.
