Mission
Our mission is to shine our light by:
  • welcoming all people
  • building community
  • serving God and neighbor

In the Fall of 2003, ECC engaged in a Mission/Visioning process, attempting to discern the strengths of the congregation and how God was calling us to serve in community. The process culminated in the Mission/Vision Statement found on the homepage of our website. The following sermon is the first of 12 preached on the Mission/Vision Statement -- one sermon for each phrase in the Statement. The sermon series was a three-month effort to get us all on the same page (who we are) and clear about our vision (who we want to be) & mission (what God is calling us to be & do).

Sermon 1: "Let your light shine"

Sermon 2: "Welcome"

Our VISION is to be

* A gathering that welcomes and values all people.

* A fellowship whose life and witness express true community.

* A community that is faithful and growing.

* A congregation challenging one another to learn and grow in Christian discipleship.

* A body where everyone uses their gifts for God's ministry.

* An assembly grounded in a rich history and Disciples tradition.

* A church with a passion for justice.

* A people of joy, love, hope and peace.
