MINISTRIES
STATEMENT OF STRATEGY AND PURPOSE FOR MINISTRY
We believe that God calls us to wholeness in body, mind and spirit. We commit ourselves to ministering to the whole person by: Vital joy-filled worship where everyone is welcomed. We offer opportunities for all ages to grow in faith through Christian Education, short term classes, workshops and spiritual growth seminars.
Our purpose is to be a vital, open and diverse community of faith where all people can grow in faith, discover their gifts and graces for ministry, and find opportunities to live out that faith in hands on ways. We seek to be a community center where lives are changed and individuals find meaning for their lives. We seek also to be a vital part of the Collister community in providing assistance to those in need, and offering our selves as God’s people in mission and ministry.
