Reexamining our Vision Statements and Core Values

Pastor Paulette has been guiding us in the process of bringing our church according to recommendations of the church size and summit. Our Board of Directors made recommendations and the congregation met to reevaluate our vision and core stements.

On January 30, 2011, We unanaimously readopted our core values statement to become our belief statement:

At MCCF, We are loved by God, lead by Christ and Empowered to Serve!

Our vision statement:

Metropolitan Community Church of Fredericksburg offers an invitation for all to worship in an inclusive environment where all are welcome and accepted. MCCF is a church with doors open to all on the journey to discover, develop and nurture their personal relationships with God through Jesus Christ.

Our mission statement:

Empower all to understand and share God's message of unconditional, all inclusive love through service, ministry and living our lives as a daily example of Jesus Christ.

Our core values statement:

We are a Christ Centered Church; Christ is our Example! God's love is unconditional! We are all Believers who have a direct relationship with God and minister to the World. We support each others' spiritual growth and personal journey!
