First Presbyterian church of Pueblo

 Mission Purpose

The purpose of mission at First Presbyterian Church of Pueblo is to provide a place where compassion for the world is discovered, nurtured and expressed in every person’s daily life.

 Mission Vision

Our vision is to develop people who seek to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ through serving the needs of the world in word and deed.

 Mission Values

Our mission values include responding to the truth that we all are called to serve in the Kingdom of God, according to our individual gifts, supported by the Holy Spirit.

 Mission Guiding Principles

The goal of the Mission committee is to work within the First Presbyterian Church of Pueblo to encourage and empower members to leverage both their time and their resources (skills, talents, financial) to impact our community and world in a positive way according to Christ’s example of love and compassion.

We wish for our giving philosophy to be flexible so we may give of our resources where the need is greatest and we hear God’s call to give.

We wish for our giving philosophy to be inclusive so that our mission can extend beyond our community and faith borders and reach into the world where we see a need.

We have defined the local mission to be within Pueblo County; regional mission to be within the Pueblo Presbytery; national to be the rest of Colorado and the United States; and international to be outside of the U.S. borders.

We will use a guide for our giving the goal of 1/3 of our monies to local and regional; 1/3 to national and 1/3 to international.

We acknowledge the importance of Mission at home and throughout the world.

We acknowledge the importance of hands-on Mission as well as monetary support and encourage each other and members of FPC to be active participants through awareness and action.

We commit to work in tandem with the Deacons in Mission by engaging in timely two-way communications about our respective Mission work..

We acknowledge that Mission is broad-based and that the more people involved in projects, awareness and action the more the impact our church will have for good in the world.

We wish to increase awareness of Mission within FPC membership by including in the Inspire and church website where we are giving of our time and money.
