Vision for the Future

Berkey Avenue Mennonite Fellowship

``For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.''
1 Corinthians 3:11

As a congregation, Berkey Avenue Mennonite Fellowship is called to be Christ's loving, caring, healing presence. In carrying out this vision, we will embrace both intimacy and invitation as primary values. This means we will:

1.       Stress the importance of deepening our personal relationships with God and with each other. This includes the strengthening of our mutual caring and the depth of our spiritual interaction with each other. (Intimacy)

2.       Strive to be an inviting, welcoming, hospitable congregation, seeking to share our faith in Jesus Christ with others who are not a part of the family of God and our fellowship with all who are not a part of the Berkey Avenue church family. (Invitation)

We also commit to:
1.       Participate in meaningful, vibrant worship.
2.       Continue a high level of involvement in mission, both local and global.
3.       Conduct dynamic children, youth, and adult nurture activities.
4.       Encourage spiritual growth.

We recognize that the foundation of our life together is Jesus Christ. We further acknowledge that any growth as a church body will come as a result of building on this foundation in the power and wisdom of the Spirit.

(This ``Vision for the Future'' comes from a longer document called ``Vision and Strategy for the Future'' which the congregation unanimously passed at the June 14, 1998 congregational meeting. The complete document is available in the church office.)
