Matthew 25 Church: Paraphrase of David's statement from 10/25/2020
As a Matthew 25 Church, we are committed to actively engaging with the world around us, bringing our faith to life and awakening to new possibilities. Inspired by Matthew 25:31–46, we are called to act boldly and compassionately to serve those who are hungry, oppressed, imprisoned, or poor.
Our mission is to become a church of action where God's love, justice, and mercy are evident and contagious. By embracing the Matthew 25 invitation, we aim to make our denomination a more relevant presence in the world, uniting all Presbyterians for a common and holy purpose: our shared identity in mission.
We focus on three key areas: Building Congregational Vitality, Dismantling Structural Racism, and Eradicating Systemic Poverty. At this time, we will concentrate on dismantling structural racism and eradicating systemic poverty, breaking down these lofty goals into manageable actions.
We recognize the historical and ongoing impact of structural racism, which manifests through biases, laws, and systemic inequalities that disadvantage marginalized communities. As a congregation, we will work together to address these injustices, examining and confronting our own privileges and biases.
Our journey involves learning, understanding, and taking steps to correct these inequities. With God's help, we will strive to help those who are affected by structural racism and follow the teachings of Jesus, aligning our actions with the words of the Prophet Micah: "He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:9).
Together, we commit to this mission, seeking to embody the principles of Matthew 25 and make a meaningful impact in our community.
We are a congregation made up of singles, couples, families, single parents, and widowed and divorced persons. We have young families and senior citizens. We are Presbyterians, but many of us have been Congregationalists, Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, inactive church members and non-churched.
Presbyterians govern themselves in the same way our country is governed. The fact is that the United States took its form of government from the Presbyterians. Our congregation is led by an elected group of laypersons. Our pastor and lay people share together in ministry.
