The
Christ Church
Mission
Statement
Christ
Lutheran Church is an assembly of baptized believers in Jesus Christ,
called, gathered, and enlightened by the Holy Spirit through the
Word and the Sacraments. As a metropolitan congregation of the Delaware-Maryland
Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, it has a mission
as a leader that is local, regional, national and international.
That mission includes the following:
1. To offer the best worship experience possible in keeping with
the Lutheran understanding of the Word and Sacraments and with Lutheran
tradition;
2. To be an inclusive congregation inviting all to come to faith
in Jesus Christ, to share our gospel vision and to be part of our
mission;
3. To educate all our members, helping them to grow in faith in
Jesus Christ and to relate that faith to life;
4. To serve the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of members
and non-members alike, to be an advocate for justice and a loving
presence in the lives of those who are hurt or hurting;
5.
To encourage our members to be good stewards of their time, talents
and treasures in response to God's love, to the church's mission
locally and throughout the world, and to human need.
