What is A Mission Statement?

On the LMC NYC District call this month, Dr. Tiffany shared critical information on what is and what is not a mission statement. This is critical as we think about moving the congregations in our district forward towards mission, optimize the mission already underway, and align together on the LMC mission as district churches. In order for people to travel The Journey Map together, they have to agree on where they are going (Amos 3:3).

Participants on the call really committed to thinking through their own mission statements and how they align to the LMC mission statement:

A spirit-led movement to:

  • Make disciples of Jesus,
  • Mobilize every member as a missionary, and
  • Multiply faith communities locally and beyond!

We want to especially answer the questions on slide 10 of the presentation.

The video is available below along with the PowerPoint Dr. Tiffany shared.

By Ben Cheek | August 20, 2024

Some people talk about “The Summer Camp High” as if it’s not real. I have to admit, I did too. It’s an easy target: people come back buzzing with energy and excitement and ready to be really spiritual and maybe even change the world. But by the time school starts again, where has all that…
