Our mission, as members of the body of Christ in the world, and the universal church, is to follow and live out the command of Jesus 'to love one another as I have loved you' (John 15:12).  We do this by proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus the Christ through Word and Sacrament, by developing the many gifts we have been given, and by reaching out and responding to the needs of individuals in our congregation, our community, and our world through worship, prayer, and service.
