The vision of the Presbyterian Church of Wilmington is the foundation upon which we as a congregation build our future as a community of faith. Our vision provides us with the path to follow in order to put into practice our beliefs and our missions. Our vision defines us as individuals, a congregation, a denomination, and a community. Without a unified vision we cannot move forward in a focused a
nd defined manner in order to accomplish the goals we establish for ourselves. While our vision needs to be defined, it need not be restrictive, thus allowing it to be inclusive of our varied members, present and future, as well as allow us to adjust to changes in our collective environment. Our vision takes into account our Missions and our Beliefs; what is and what should be in God’s world. By forming our vision we are able to bring these two factors closer together. Our Beliefs:
“…All things are possible to him who believes.” Mark 9.23
We believe that Christ gave us the gift of salvation. In response to his gift, we become disciples of Jesus Christ. It is incumbent upon us to use our strengths, time, talents and resources to improve our world in His eyes. We believe that we can help move the human condition towards that which ought to be through His teachings. We believe that God intends for our world to be at peace with ourselves and with Him. We believe that through his teachings we can improve our congregation, local community, our nation and the world.
