Parkway Hills United Methodist Church
CORE VALUES
CHRIST CALLS US TO:
WELCOME--As people of the United Methodist Church, we will welcome each other and the strangers in our midst with open hearts, open minds, and open doors. We are a community which values everyone and extends the love of Christ to all.
GROW--Spiritual development is a lifelong journey—from cradle to grave. We will live to be more like Jesus and never stop growing into a deeper relationship with God.
SERVE--With the hearts of servants, we will nurture and care for those within and beyond our walls. We are the hands and voice of Christ.
CELEBRATE--God’s grace and love are in us and all around us. They are the source of all our gifts. We will praise God in our worship, with all of our gifts, and through our stewardship of the beauty and the bounty of the Earth.
On Monday night, September 11, 2006, the Church Council unanimously adopted the above statement as the Core Values for Parkway Hills United Methodist Church. These core values will guide us in planning an evaluating our ministries for years to come. Most of you participated in the process of
determining these values. Through Sunday School sessions and surveys conducted during worship we received many suggestions. A committee led by Mark McLain and composed of Sarah Turner, Chere Peel, Laura McCrory, Darlene Roberts, Bob Garrison, Cindy White and Richard Robbins prayerfully looked at all of the suggestions that came from the congregation and distilled all of that information into something that was faithful to those ideas as well as being faithful to the Gospel.
elcome to Parkway Hills United Methodist Church. We are a 14 year congregation located in one of the area's fastest growing communities. Committed to offering a fresh expression of God's love through worship, service, study and fellowship, we are a young and innovative church. And we invite you - searcher, churchgoer, or just a person trying to figure out what Christian faith is all about - to find here a place to worship and learn, to experience God and community, to grow and to serve in ways that are both traditional and new. A clue to who we are as a congregation is found in our unofficial motto: "We do best the things we do together."
