Our vision statement emphasizes how we aim to foster growth both in the congregation, and out in our wider community:
Reaching -- Into Faith, Out to Others:
With Openness and Inclusion,
Love and Respect,
Curiosity and Courage,
Justice and Hope
Serving the God of Grace
We rejoice to serve God, the giver of grace.
As the Body of Christ in a broken world,
we are part of the world's brokenness.
Jesus addresses brokenness with forgiveness and grace:
so in the power of the Holy Spirit
we must be instruments of healing and renewal.
God is calling us in love to reflect God's grace:
as a completely inclusive community of faith;
in the way we worship, engaging minds and hearts;
in the way we learn and grow - all ages of us;
in our embrace of the arts
to seek God and enrich human life;
in the way we care for people,
welcoming and nurturing one another,
addressing human need inside the church and out;
in the way we stand up for peace and justice,
forgiveness and hope;
in our respect for creation.
As the clear presence of the United Church in the Glebe,
we serve the God of grace here and in the wider world.
