Church Council Mission and Goals
The mission of the Church Council is to develop goals and policies that are consistent with the mission and vision statements of the St. John’s Lutheran Church and implement these policies in a way that is consistent with Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. To this end, the Council will

 

  1. Create and support committees or groups in the congregation that are responsible for the different expressions of our ministries.

  2. Guide these committees in such a way that the priorities of the congregation are reflected in the activities of these committees.

  3. Publicize the work of our committees and ministries.

  4. Provide a vision of the entire ministry of the congregation that shows how the various ministries of the congregation reflect the Lordship of Christ.

  5. Assist in the communication between committees and other ministries so that each may know the work of others.

  6. Listen to members of the congregation for new ideas for ministry and appropriate criticism.

  7. Create a climate in which all members of the congregation are encouraged to develop and engage in ministry.

  8. Help identify and disciple new leadership within the congregation.
