Our society is blessed by an abundance of services for virtually every human need. It is interesting that in just about every instance, a tracing of the origins of those services leads to the Christian church. Education, Medicine, Social Services, Disaster Relief, Hunger Relief, Housing and Urban renewal, as well as Civil Rights all can be traced almost without exception to the Judeo Christian tradition in general and the Christian church in specific. In all of our society there remains only one place where all of those efforts and all of those concerns intersect and that is the church.
New Wilmington Presbyterian church is as our
Mission Statement expresses, “a family of believers called by God in Jesus
Christ and led by the Holy Spirit to promote the worship of Almighty God,
make disciples, and meet human needs.” As with any mission statement this
expresses our goals, our highest ideals, and our prayer as to who we are,
who we seek to become, and the process by which we hope to progress toward
those ideals. Inherent in all of this is an invitation, a call to any and
all who will, to come and be a part of this effort to honor Christ by
seeking to be His loving hands, His caring heart, His listening ear, His
strong arm of support, and His strong and steady presence and compassion
in an increasingly tumultuous culture and world. It is our hope and prayer
that you will feel very welcome to come to, and become a part of our
family of faith, our shared mission and our shared ministry as we engage
our community, our culture and our world for Christ. |
