Our Values, Mission & Vision

As an expression of the Body of Christ in this place, we celebrate God's love with everyone through:

 

Fellowship and Inclusion

Our welcoming spirit leads us to accept everyone, just as Jesus did through his openness, hospitality, and fellowship. We commit ourselves to the participation by all in our worship, programs, and governance.

 

Our vision is for St. Francis to be a place where people find fellowship from our welcoming and inclusive spirit that encourages participation by all in every aspect of the life of the church.

 

Christian Formation & Discipleship

Using scripture, tradition and reason, we commit ourselves as Anglicans to ongoing growth in our walk with God. This forms our spiritual foundation, which guides our worship, music, adult and youth religious education, and spiritual formation.

 

Our vision is for St. Francis to be a place where we support each other in our walk with Christ, through contemporary and traditional worship and music styles and spiritual programs, using scripture, tradition and reason as our guide.

 

Compassion & Service

We commit ourselves to follow Jesus' call for compassion and his command to love your neighbor as yourself. We practice compassion and service through our inreach and outreach programs.

 

Our vision is for St. Francis to be a place where we offer a variety of programs and activities that are enjoyable and rewarding and will attract people of all ages, including a growing number of younger members who will renew the life cycle and leadership of our congregation.

 

Faithful Stewardship & Giving

We commit ourselves to follow Jesus' call for faithful stewardship of all God has given us, by sharing our time, talents, and worldly treasures.

 

Our vision is for St. Francis to be a place where we are responsive to the call by Jesus for faithful stewardship of all God's gifts by sharing our time, talents and treasure.
