“We sing of a church of inspired, resilient and diverse contextual communities of disciples seeking to continue the story of Jesus by embodying Christ’s presence in the world. A church that is present and deeply connected coast to coast - to coast- to coast in rural and urban settings, and in ecumenical and global relationships. A church guided by hope-filled, adaptive and effective ministry leaders, in a denomination that is increasingly multigenerational, multiracial and intercultural.”
