The Mission and Vision
of
Church of the Good Shepherd, United Methodist
Columbus, Ohio
Our vision is to live out the presence of Jesus in a
diverse and thriving urban neighborhood.
And we do so in this way:
• We ensure an atmosphere within the church which fosters innovation, pride, risk-taking, inclusion, diversity, faith, love and acceptance.
• We provide creative opportunities for our church family to serve others through worship, witness and mission.
• We establish, update, and maintain community relationships that result in partnerships for ministry.
• We empower church staff and leadership to anticipate and meet the needs and challenges of a multi-racial, culturally diverse community of all ages and lifestyles.
• We evaluate ministries annually and new directions are consistent with the needs and priorities of our church family and our community.
