Nurture
Nurture is teaching, preparing, and equipping the people of that church for ministry within their
community and the world. Through fellowship, worship, Sunday School, small-group ministries, and
other nurturing experiences, people will grow in their Christian faith, understand the principles of
stewardship, and will be equipped to serve as faithful disciples.

Outreach
Ministries of compassion involve a congregation in addressing the immediate needs of individuals,
families, and communities. The congregation may respond to local community needs and provide
food, clothing, emergency housing, counseling, and employment opportunities. Community ministries
of concern and advocacy call for a congregation's involvement in the enrichment of community life.

Witness
Caring, sharing, listening, visiting, preaching, praying, hospitality…all we do out of our experience of
God’s love in Christ is our witness, our work for justice, righteousness, and redemption of the world.
