Vision 21
SUMMARY
Identity:
We strongly believe that the Presbytery
exists in large measure to support the churches of the Presbytery and to
assist the churches in the fulfillment of their God-given missions. In
addition to its historic constitutional responsibilities (as defined in the
EPC Book of Order), we believe the Presbytery can and should fulfill
three important roles:
-
To encourage the churches in their
fulfillment of their missions;
-
To shepherd the shepherds, providing
care and nurture for the Teaching Elders, Ruling Elders, and their
families;
-
To expand the kingdom of God within the
bounds of the Presbytery through church planting and other means, and
around the world through our support of the World Outreach of the EPC.
