What is mission? The dictionary says it is a function or a task. It can be undertaken by a person or a group. When an person has a mission it is clear to them what they want to do. When a group gets together, it can become more complicated as they try to agree to get the task done. That is why it is helpful before starting the task to define it and get everyone going in the same direction.
To help us all go in the same direction, our church has a mission statement:
"The Mont Vernon church is gathered in response to the call of God through Jesus Christ. We humbly open ourselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we seek to be faithful to the biblical teachings of Jesus Christ."
