In the continuous process of living and breathing as a Church body, Holy Cross has adopted the following Values and Mission Statement at the last Voter’s Assembly on 3/21/04. The values and mission statement themselves do not create a plan. They provide the foundation on which we build. All of the coming planning in the month ahead will be based on these values and mission statements.

• Christ Centered
  Our personal relationship with Christ is the foundation for all that we do.
  John 14:6, John 8:12, John 10:14, Acts 16:29-34, Ephesians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 3:11-12
• Outreach
  We exist within our community to share the gospel with all people.
  Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8, Romans 12:13, 1 Tim 2:1-4
• Lifelong Learning
  We encourage life long spiritual growth in Bible based worship, study, and prayer.
  Acts 2:42, Revelations 3:20, Ephesians 4:14-15, Timothy 3, Timothy 3:16-17, Phil 1:9-10
• Loving Community
  We are a welcoming Christian family living out our unconditional love for one another.
  Acts 2:46-47, 1 John 4:7-8, Colossians 3:12-17, Romans 12:13-18
• Joyful Response
  We acknowledge everything belongs to God and share our lives in joyful response to the salvation we have through Jesus Christ.
  1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 2 Corinthians 8:5-6, 1 Peter 4:10-11

The mission of Holy Cross Lutheran Church is to grow Christ’s family through a Bible-based innovative ministry of outreach, learning, loving, and living lives of joyful response.

Congregational Goals and Critical Targets for 2004-2014

From the Congregational Leadership Forum, held January 16-1, 2004, led by Les Stroh, 80 of our members gathered and prayed and worked together Friday evening and all day Saturday. The values and mission were created, but also those areas that we need to focus on as a congregation. These critical targets represent where we need to make significant impact in order to effectively pursue our mission. More importantly these represent the members view on what our Lord is calling us to do.

• Spiritual Gifts
  Help each other identify our spiritual gifts and apply them to the ministry of Holy Cross.

• Community Connection
  Connect to our community where needed to build up people in faith and life.

• Faith Life Development
  Develop all ages spiritually in their daily application of faith.

• Family Faith Living
  Equip families to nurture spiritual growth together.
