Mission
The Mission of Denbigh Presbyterian Church can be expressed in three important concepts that define who we are and where we are headed.
We are a Worshipping community of believers.
We believe in and
worship the triune
God, whose presence with us is
expressed in the life and teachings and the death and resurrection of
our Savior, Jesus the Christ. Because of what Jesus would have us do as
revealed in scripture and the leading of the Holy Spirit, we welcome
all in our community to join us in our mission. We seek spiritual
growth through worship, music, prayer, Church School, Bible study,
fellowship, and the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion. We seek
to encourage the active involvement of our current, former, and younger
members.
We are a Witnessing community of believers.
We believe God calls
us to witness to His grace and redemption in both word and deed. We
witness to our community, both individually and collectively, with
other churches and organizations. This witness includes sharing our
facilities, food, clothing, talents, and resources. We seek a
long-range vision to truly meet the needs of all God's people.
Witnessing to the faith also requires knowing what we believe and
continuously learning and growing. We feel a strong Church School
program is essential in fulfilling this need.
We are a Nurturing community of believers.
We believe that
Christ is Head of the Church and seek to grow and nurture all people in
the Christian faith. We believe shared, strong leadership strengthens
us both as an individual and as fellow Christians; therefore, we
endeavor to involve all members in the life and work of the church. We
seek to make all feel welcome and important in the life of the church
through a strong fellowship program that brings everyone together for
shared experiences and that reflects a compassionate concern for one
another.
We are committed to service beyond our local congregation and our local community as we support and participate in the ministries of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic, and the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia.
