FIRST CHURCH offers responsible leadership to the Church Family as we reach out to the community in sharing the love of Christ through ministry and missions.

MISSION STATEMENT

 To celebrate and share the joy of Christ's love

 

VISION STATEMENT

        To be a dynamic growing church

       In February 2006, the Church Council endorsed a Board of Vision and Implementation (BVI) composed of 20 staff and lay leaders to produce a plan of action.   A professional Percept study of the congregation and community within its reach was commissioned and became a valuable resource. The BVI analyzed First Church strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to devise Strategic Objectives and Desired Outcomes, assign Ownership, and set Time frames.

      Five Strategic Objectives with Desired Outcomes were set for:

                             1.      Worship and Programs

                             2.      Leadership and Organization

                             3.      Stewardship and Finance

                             4.      Marketing, Communications and Image

                             5.      Building, Grounds and Equipment

            These Strategic Objectives and Desired Outcomes founded on research and professional aid will invigorate the church family with: 

                              o    Specific Outcomes to accomplish.

                              o    Time frames to meet.

                              o    Periodic measures and evaluation.

                              o    Ownership assigned and accountable for results.    

      This plan was then accepted  for implementation by the Church Council in September,2006. With the full support and participation of the entire church family using their gifts and talents, it is crucial that we achieve these Strategic Objectives and Desired Outcomes for First Church.
