Servant Leaders - Servant Church
In keeping with our parish mission statement, we are
"grounded in the servant ministry of Jesus." We serve
from our abundance through the time, talent, and treasurers of members
of the body of Christ, who make their spiritual home with us. We
reach out as all sorts and conditions of adults, youth, and children
by the grace of God to help create the kingdom of God on earth as
it is in heaven. We give to people throughout the world, nation,
diocese, and parish with respect and honor for those we serve. Most
important, we ask for prayers from the parish and beyond to bless
the work entrusted to us by God and for God.
Our community of faith exercises servant ministry
in ongoing, new, and creative by support of initiatives and organizations
according to the following, which are not mutually exclusive. POVERTY.
Feed, clothe, and shelter those with less throughout the world.
COMMUNITY. Seek to connect God's people across lines of race,
class, ethnicity, and privilege, and efforts toward good stewardship
of creation. HEALTHCARE. Focus on healing and wholeness of
mind, body, and spirit. EDUCATION. Serve at-risk and/or less-able
children, youth, and adults. HOSPITALITY. Offer parish space
and facilities for faith-based and certain non-profit entities to
gather for meetings and special events.
Then Jesus said, "Come, you that are blessed
by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty
and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed
me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took
care of me, I was in prison and you visited me." Then the righteous
will answer him, "Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry
and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And
when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked
and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in
prison and visited you?" And the king will answer them, "Truly
I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who
are members of my family, you did it to me." Matthew 25:34-45
