Our Vision Statement -
Jesus said:
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."
This is the greatest and first commandment.
And a second is like it:
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:37-39)
"Do not be afraid .. .follow me." (Luke 5:10 and Mark 1:17)
Dare to imagine God's hope for the world ...
• where justice is the foundation of peace replacing war and oppression
• where by sacrificial sharing, no child of God wakes up hungry, homeless or without hope
• where people are passionate caretakers of God's creation, and still enough to hear God's whisper
Dare to imagine God's people ...
• who hunger tenaciously for God's word
• who celebrate our differences
• who practice forgiveness and do the hard work of reconciliation
• who do not exist for ourselves, but for God's purpose
Dare to imagine our First Presbyterian Church of Sandpoint as a contrast community ...
• created by God, called by Christ and guided by the Spirit, to pray, worship, listen and embody Christ's word
• where all are welcome
• coming together as a unified people committed to participating in God's mission for the world
• obedient to God's call, willing to change course as directed by God
• joyfully praising and worshiping God with every song, word and deed
In love and obedience, alI Lord, transform us into bold and courageous people - your light in the world. Make us
humble, surrendering ourselves to follow you. Give us strength to commit to your vision.. Amen
