Healthy Church Update: Mission Statement

As part of following through with Mike McGuffee's recommendations from the Healthy Church evaluation, the Church Council (with the help of the folks who participated in our first Churchwide Town Hall) have worked to clarify our mission statement here at NewLife.

Now, this isn't a vanity project ("look how cool we are") or a marketing strategy ("come to our church - we've got a great slogan!")... Will Mancini says it best:

No, you don’t need a cooler mission statement so you can call it a mantra. No you don’t need a better sounding slogan. You need to know what the heck your church or ministry is ultimately supposed to be doing and you need to state in a clear, concise and compelling way. This is a leadership statement to direct and integrate all of your thinking, speaking and acting. Let me repeat- this is a leadership statement, not a marketing statement.

In other words, It's is a clear and concise statement that describes what our church is ultimately supposed to be doing.

And here it is:

connecting our community to a passionate new life in Christ

You're going to be hearing that a lot... the idea is that all of us will make it the "guiding light" as we decide how to do the ministry here in Easton God has called NewLife to do.

And you can be involved in the next step in the mission/values/vision process as we'll be having our next Churchwide Town Hall THIS Sunday, November 6th after the morning service. It'll be a potluck lunch with chances to give input & ask questions - don't miss it!
