Matthew 25

On behalf of our church

The Mission Committee has applied for, and we were accepted as a Mathew 25 church. Matthew 25 is a Presbyterian USA wide, national call.  The commitment going forward is to keep  1, 2, or all 3 components – Congregational Vitality, Racism, and Poverty in the foreground of our thinking as we plan. The goal is to unite all the Presbyterian USA churches in the country under one umbrella, uniting our vision and our call.

What is a Matthew 25 church?

Matthew 25:31–46 calls all of us to actively engage in the world around us, so our faith comes alive and we wake up to new possibilities. Convicted by this passage, both the 222nd and 223rd General Assemblies (2016 and 2018) exhorted the PC(USA) to act boldly and compassionately to serve people who are hungry, oppressed, imprisoned, or poor.

How the vision unites all Presbyterians

By accepting the Matthew 25 invitation, you can help our denomination become a more relevant presence in the world. We recognize Christ’s urgent call to be a church of action, where God’s love, justice, and mercy shine forth and are contagious. And we rejoice how our re-energized faith can unite all Presbyterians for a common and holy purpose: our common identity to do mission.
