The Heart of Longmont welcomes every person and recognizes each as a unique and sacred child of God, regardless of age, race, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. Our Mission:
To make followers of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Our Vision:
Serve as the Heart of Longmont by helping all persons find deeper meaning and God’s purpose for their life as committed
Christ-followers. Serving as the Heart of Longmont means:
• That as committed Christ-followers we will integrate God’s priorities and plan for all of humanity into our everyday living, seeking to do God’s will in all things as best we understand it;
• We will help others connect to Jesus Christ by embracing Christ’s teachings and examples of selfless service as a model for living so that our example might kindle a hunger in others to know God better;
• We will join together in worship and sharing the Sacraments with all persons;
• We will welcome all persons, without reservation or judgment, just as Jesus Christ would do;
• We will work tirelessly by entering into intentional acts of compassion and social justice to make our community a place where God’s love is known by all, where poverty and deprivation are unknown by any, and where respect for the worth and dignity of each person is the norm. Our beliefs and understanding of mission mean we will:
• Keep our focus on Jesus Christ as revealed in God’s Inspired word, the Bible;
• Embrace prayer, seeking the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit;
• Respect and honor other religious traditions, while choosing Christ as our way of knowing God best;
• Emphasize life-long learning so that we may engage our world from a dynamic and creative perspective;
• Work to protect and preserve God’s creation;
• Practice stewardship of all aspects of our lives – including time, talent, financial resources, and spiritual gifts.
