2007 MISSION Statement
First Presbyterian Church of
Poughkeepsie
The First Presbyterian Church of Poughkeepsie is a caring
community of believers who seek strength and direction to be the faithful heart
and hands of Christ for each other and our
community.
How do we fulfill our
Mission? We:
- Continue a process of spiritual development in all aspects of the life
of the church so that we may discern God's purpose for our lives and for the
Church.
- Further develop the Church's significant ministry of pastoral care both
within and beyond the Church's membership.
- Let God's Word feed the minds and hearts of the congregation through
educational opportunities in the Church and with the broader community.
- Meet our brothers and sisters in this urban community at the foot
of the cross of Jesus Christ so that Christ may tear down remaining walls
and teach us to love our neighbor in new ways.
- Will open ourselves to offer alternative styles of worship so that
Christ may be experienced and God's word may be heard in new ways.
