FOUR EMPHASES


     To strengthen and support congregations, the Presbytery will focus its time, personnel, and money in equal portions among four emphases:

  • Creating new congregations, with a growth rate determined by Presbytery Council;
     

  • Walking with faithful, effective, and innovative congregations to recognize sustainable habits that empower them to continue to soar as congregations;
     

  • Working with congregations that are ready to engage in transition and change activities leading to a spiritual strategic journey that transforms them;
     

  • Working with congregations that are holding steady, serving Christ and their communities faithfully.
