Introduction

[A]ll the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—all the while praising God... And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved." see Acts 2: 44-47

Our Mission

The Mission of the Christian Church, and therefore of Saint Mary’s, is the very mission which Christ gave to his apostles:

“Go and make disciples of all the nations, 
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.” 
Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT)

We fulfill our role in this great mission of Christ by:

• Intentionally dwelling in the presence of God, both corporately and personally
• Growing in the image and likeness of Jesus, the Son of God
• Inviting our community to enter into the presence of God by welcoming others among us with the love of the Spirit.

 

Our Core Values

God took on our flesh that we might be made sons and daughters of God through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through the Spirit, Christ dwells among his people, and at Saint Mary’s we are committed to seeking Christ through our three core values:

Gathered to Worship - We gather to sing praises, read Scripture, to pray, and to be nourished at the table of Christ’s sacrifice.

Sent Forth to Serve - Our gathering for worship compels us to go forth to serve others throughout our community. In doing so, we become ambassadors for Christ, shining light and bringing peace and hope to the world.

Rooted in Love - We believe Christ is beautifully revealed through the love of his people, so we seek to cultivate a tremendous love within our homes, in our congregation, and in the lives of those we serve, wherever we encounter them.
