Purpose and Values(Divine Providence 27) |
Our Purpose is to:
To gather people into community, set their minds free, lift their spirits high and open their hearts wide, encouraging them to love and serve God and each other so that they may fulfill their life purpose in the world.
We strive to live by our purpose as a church by providing worship services that are uplifting and inspiring with messages that are applicable to daily life. We offer a variety of small groups and classes throughout the year where people can build community and have support and accountability for their spiritual work. We provide a variety of retreats throughout the year, Men's, Women's, Teens and Family Camp, where we can gather together in community and take tangible steps forward in our spiritual lives.
As we work to intentionally create a spiritual community we look to our value statement. This statement reflects how we want to treat each other within our community.
