About Us - Mission and Vision
|
Mission Statement
The mission of Christ Church is to offer hospitality, healing and hope in the name of Jesus Christ.
The way we interact with each other and our community, and every program we undertake is grounded in this mission. Our mission and our work are in keeping with the tenets of the larger Episcopal Church, which strives to live by the message of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome.
Vision Statement
We envision Christ Episcopal Church as a spiritual center of the Southern Tier where people of all ages and all faiths or of no faith are welcomed to gather for theological discussion and exploration in pursuit of the full humanity that is embedded in each of us.
Goals
- To encourage the growing involvement of the laity in directing and sustaining our various ministries in the Greater Corning area.
- To develop a dynamic series of adult education opportunities that will broaden the biblical knowledge of our congregation; partner with other institutions such as local churches and regional colleges and universities as appropriate.
- To identify and implement a Christian Education curriculum that is engaging, inspiring and motivates our youth to attend church regularly.
- To partner with local arts organizations and the Chamber of Commerce to identify appropriate opportunities to utilize Christ Church as a venue for music performances, lectures on our Tiffany windows and other events for our benefit and that of the surrounding community.
