Mission Statement

ST. ANDREWS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

AMENDED AND AFFIRMED BY SESSION ON 06-14-2011

Mission

To know God and to make God known through lives transformed by Christ

 

Vision

We are on an evangelistic, mission-oriented journey with emphasis on bringing Jesus Christ to the world. Worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry development, and evangelism enable us. Three strategic elements define our moving forward:

• Reaching Outward - becoming a missional church for whom mission is the organizing principle of all we do;
• Looking Upward - strengthening our relationship with God through inspired worship, energizing prayer, and increasing reliance on the Holy Spirit; and
• Maturing Inward - allowing our lives to be transformed by studying Gods Word, developing greater intimacy with Christ and one another, and living the Christian life.

 

Tenets Of Faith

• Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6)
• The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is our ultimate guide in the Christian life. (II Timothy 3:16-17)
• The holy life of Christ is lived out in the faithful covenant of marriage between a man and a woman or through chastity in singleness.

 

Core Values

• Trusting God and Seeking His Will
• Stewardship (Talent, Time, Treasure)
• Praise, Worship and Glory to God
• Proclamation of the Gospel
• Children and Youth

The Thursday morning Men’s Bible Study Group : completed work projects at Harelson School

This group painted (yellow) concrete walls throughout the school property. These walls were initially painted years ago and needed to be redone for safety reasons.

Harelson has a second project the Men’s Bible Study will assist with soon. This project involves re-leveling large round concrete tables and benches in addition to finishing some light gardening throughout the campus.
