VISION STATEMENT
Our vision is to share Christ crucified and God’s reconciling love through effective ministry, leadership, stewardship and communication.
MISSION STATEMENT
We seek to accomplish our vision by the following:
I. Provide and sustain ministries that enable committees, commissions, agencies, boards, clergy and congregations (CCABCC) to share the Good News of God in Christ.
II. Develop clerical, lay and staff leadership within the diocese through effective organizational structures, human resource practices, continuing education and deployment.
III. Proclaim our theology of stewardship to include financial, environmental, charitable and personal (mind, body, spirit) principles of Christian living.
IV. Convey our Vision and Mission and our progress toward their accomplishment through effective communication.
COMMITMENT STATEMENT
As we strive to attain this Vision via our stated Mission, we recognize our fundamental dependence upon God’s grace, mercy and love and thus commit ourselves to begin all our endeavors with quiet, listening prayer to discern God’s will.
