Our Mission Statement
We, the members of Eastminster Presbyterian Church, rejoice in the grace of God and the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. We believe we have been called as God's children to:

Worship and praise God;
Nurture and support spiritual growth in a fellowship of faith;
Create an open and welcoming community; and
Reach out to the world in love and compassion.


We pledge to develop and use our God-given gifts to share our faith in words and deeds as disciples who serve the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the will of God.

Our Vision
Seeking to be faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the congregation's Mission Statement, Eastminster is dedicated to mission and ministry within our congregation and throughout our community and the world in ways that share the Gospel message and meet the spiritual needs of all persons, with emphasis towards children, youth, and families.

Our Values
In carrying out our Mission, and guided by our Vision, we will hold to the following Values in our work and ministry together.

Theology
As a church of Jesus Christ, we will follow the revealed Word of God as it comes to us in the Bible and is interpreted through the Holy Spirit. We will be guided by the essential tenets of the Reformed Faith, as they are expressed by the Presbyterian Church (USA) and as contained in the Book of Confessions and the Book of Order.

Discipleship
We will seek to "make disciples" by encouraging all persons to grow in their faith and their personal relationships with God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, through opportunities for prayer, study, service, and worship, both corporately and individually.

Evangelism
We will seek to fulfil the Great Commission by carrying our ministry beyond our own congregation toward those people in our community who do not yet have a church home or have not yet experienced the good news of the grace of God's message.

Mission
We will seek to be in service and mission, giving individually and as a congregation of our time, talent, and treasure to others in need in the community and the world.

Stewardship
We will challenge ourselves individually to give generously of our "first fruits" to the mission and ministry of this congregation so that, as we are blessed, we might also offer a blessing to others.

Relationships
We will seek to love one another and to build one another up in the body of Christ, providing opportunities for members and participants to build faith-centered relationships with one another by encouraging people of all ages to 1) worship and pray together, 2) work and serve together, and 3) study and play together.

Leadership
We will seek to be a congregation that empowers individuals and groups to carry out their calling to ministry. Our church leadership will seek to encourage individual members in the discernment and use of their spiritual gifts and personal talents in service to God.
