Vision and
Commitment Statement
At
Hilltop Covenant Church...
Our vision is to be a Christ-centered,
mission-oriented, all-welcoming church family whose primary focus is to:
-
Invest ourselves in the people of the greater Cromwell
community in ways and places meaningful to them,
-
Serve the disadvantaged and vulnerable in Jesus' name, and
-
Promote Christian knowledge through engagement with the
Scriptures and one another.
Committed to this vision, we will:
Increase
dramatically
the number of people whose first contact with the church happens somewhere
other than the church
building
and sometime other than Sunday morning.
Make
available to children, youth and adults opportunities for
"hands-on" mission work as we:
- Focus on
those not yet a part of our church family
- Serve
according to our gifts in purposeful ministry
- Move out
into the community to meet the felt needs of our neighbors.
Amplify
our knowledge so that we are equipped to build relationships with our Lord
and one another and are prepared to bring the love God to our community
through service to our neighbors.
Develop
programs supported by a commitment of human and financial
resources that will lead to meaningful change in the lives of children,
the elderly and others who are disadvantaged and vulnerable.
Create
an atmosphere where everyone feels at home, embracing all God's
children and attracting mission-minded Christians to more fully
participate in the life of the church.
Become
a center for
service and outreach to our members, our neighbors, and the
extended community of God's people around the world, engaging in
partnerships with churches and organizations already involved in this
work.
Conduct
all activities prayerfully, to the glory of God and the good of
God's people, because without God's hands in our midst and our hearts
focused on prayer, nothing can happen (Ephesians 3: 14 - 21)
