Here is what that mission means:
...that the Good News of Jesus Christ offers salvation and hope to a troubled world and constant support to our daily life.
...in our personal faith life and in the sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ to people in our community using fully the abundant human and financial resources of our members.
...recognizing that the whole world is God's creation and the object of God's love. Amen.
The way in which we carry out this mission is through our vision. Our vision for South Canyon Lutheran Church is...
QUALITY IN OUR WORSHIP LIFE TOGETHER - We center our community's life and find our source of strength through Word and Sacrament. Hearing God's life-giving Word is our priority. Clearly communicating to the hopes and fears of people today is our purpose. Nurturing the faith of our worshipping community propels us into the world for service.
QUALITY EDUCATION - It is vital that our members are biblically and theologically literate so that we know what it means to be Christian in today's world and can effectively share God's love with those we meet in our daily lives.
QUALITY CARE AND OUTREACH - We care for each other as God cares for us. We are an inviting community ready and willing to open our arms to those in need.
QUALITY SIGNIFICANT RELATIONAL GROUPS - Encouraging and promoting significant relational groups is an important way that we can be cared for in our congregation. Small groups give us a place to be ourselves and be accepted by others. They also are a place where we can serve and minister to each other.
