Our Vision and Priorities
Our vision... Celebrate God's Love, Study God's Word, Serve God's People, and Expand God's Kingdom.
Our mission... To answer's God's call by reaching out to those who are searching,creating a growing community of committed disciples experiencing personal relationships with Jesus Christ, and sharing His joy through worship, prayer, study, gifts and service.
Together as a church family, we have set the following seven priorities for our future:
1. Equip our staff and church family to invite, welcome, connect and reconnect all into our worship community - ultimately making disciples who make disciples.
2. Expand our emphasis on excellence in worship to include passion in worship, with the focus on deepening personal relationships with Jesus Christ.
3. Continue to "shine" in our current areas of excellence - missions, preschool, children, students, Care team and music.
4. Build and strengthen ministries that will enable people to enter our church easily - hospitality, Prayer team, retreat ministries, sports ministries, children's events, and programming, men's and women's groups.
5. Fully utilize the ministry potential of the Robertson Activity Center.
6. Aggressively recruit and develop strong lay leaders in all areas.
7. Continue to educate the congregation on the importance of the biblical values of stewardship and personal responsibility.
(The "Seven Priorities" are taken from the Stonebridge United Methodist Church Strategic Plan 2008-2012 decided upon and approved by our church family. Complete copies of the plan are available in the church office should you wish to pick one up at your convenience.)
