Our Mission Statement & Values

The mission of Advent is to be a congregation that makes Christ’s presence visible in the world as the symbol of God’s redemptive love for all humanity. The following words represent a living statement of the values that direct our lives as a parish community, shape our relationships with one another, and inspire our efforts to fulfill our mission in the community as The Episcopal Church of the Advent:

We value spiritual growth and maturing in our faith in an atmosphere of openness and acceptance.

We value a church family that is welcoming and provides a sense of community.

We value a spirit of generosity that enables us to reflect Christ’s love to others.

We value spiritual guidance and leadership provided by both clergy and lay people.

We value our interpersonal relationships with our clergy and each other and our personal relationship with Christ.

We value active ministries in the church, in the community, and in the world around us.

We value the tradition and histories of our faith, our church, and our people.
