To help you prepare, here are the questions we’ll be reflecting on:

How does our Mission, Covenant, and/or Vision of Ministry guide our shared ministry?

Congregational Mission Statement
The transforming power of love is our core belief.
We embody a sanctuary of compassion, integrity, and respect.
We champion justice, equity, and peace.

Congregational Covenant
We covenant together to make a welcoming community,
To walk together in the way of truth and love,
To seek the life of the spirit, as it is known by each person,
To support each other in thought, word, and deed,
As we work to build a better world.

Board Vision of Ministry for this Year
This year we will be a sanctuary where every person is known, fed, and transformed through authentic connection and courageous action.

What is working well in our church community?

What do we need to work on? Where do we feel called to grow?

How do we experience our relationship with Rev. Denise in this shared ministry?

What hopes do you have for our future together?

Is there anything else you would like to share?

If you have any questions, reach out to Kristin R.
