Statement of Identity and Purpose

God calls, equips, and sends the church to engage the world with the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ.

     We are a community of disciples of Jesus, 
     a part of the Body of Christ,
          covenanted together as congregations,
          regional churches,
          and a nationwide church body.
     Gratefully responding to God’s initiatives and empowered by the
     Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves and our resources
to calling, equipping, and sending the church to engage the world with the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ.
