MISSION INITIATIVES
Picture
​The five Mission Initiatives are blessings to the church. They guide us directly onto paths that help us make Christ’s mission our mission. Though the initiatives carry great importance and value individually, they work best in congregations and ministries that honor all five. In this holistic fashion, they help us know, be, and do as we serve Christ.​​

what we believe

​BASIC BELIEFS
Jesus Christ is at the center of our faith and beliefs. ​​
​Our

SACRAMENTS
​Most of the sacraments are open to anyone. We freely offer to share in the sacraments with you.
The sacraments express God’s grace and peace and can change our lives and communities. They shape our identity and community life as followers of Jesus Christ.
As we experience the blessings available through sacraments, we are inspired  to share the peace of Jesus Christ and fulfill our mission in the world.​ 
  • Baptism (Immersion in Water; age 8 and older)
  • Confirmation (Laying on of hands for "baptism" of the spirit)
  • Blessing of Children (Newborn through age 7)
  • The Lord's Supper (Communion)
  • Laying on of Hands for the Sick
  • Marriage
  • Ordination to Priesthood (Membership in the church required to receive this sacrament)
  • Evangelist Blessing (a special prayer of blessing)

  • Receive God's Gifts
  • Respond Faithfully
  • Align Heart and Money
  • Share Generously
  • Save Wisely
  • Spend Responsibly
