God's Mission in Our Midst
as articulated by
COLUMBIA UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST

Columbia United Church of Christ is very intentional about discerning and articulating our mission in God's World.  Our Vision Team consists of representatives from each of our Ministry Teams, and spends time each year evaluating our Mission Statement, our Core Values Statement and our Strategic Plan, determining how we are living into them and how they are informing our actions in God's World. With the guidance of God's Holy Spirit, these statements are periodically updated to reflect how God is calling us to be active in the world.
