Answer 1

(Your Church Name) doing God's will for God's people.

Short and sweet!

Answer 2

You don't need a formal "mission statement"--but you may want to take a good look at what resources you have, including the people whose skills have been offered to your group, and what direction you want to take them in.

Figure out what your goals are: are you a youth fellowship group? An education/bible study group? An outreach-and-evangelism group? Decide where your main focus is--you can do some of all of those things, but if you try to do them all equally, you'll bore those who aren't interested in one of those options, and they might leave.

Will you be run democratically, or will the people making decisions be people who are trained in that? Will you be using a strict interpretation of your church's doctrines, or a looser one that might appeal more to youth groups?

Ask all the questions you can think of, and answer them, and your mission statement will sort itself out from there.

Answer 3

Believe me, you absolutely do not need a mission statement. Any organisation that has to tell you what it's for is doomed already. Think of all the world's really succesful, organisations; Disney, Coke, Microsoft, The Marines, Rolls Royce, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club. If any one of them has a "mission statement" - which I doubt - I bet not more than three people have ever bothered to look it up and read it. You already know what they do and why they do it. reading half a dozen pars of regurgitated, touchy-feely, deeply sincere and ultimately meaningless pap is not going to make that happen any better or any quicker. Now, I know you're not going to pay a blind bit of notice to what I've just said, so could I recommend that you adapt the aims of the Boys' Brigade, a uniformed youth organisation, slightly older than the Scouts, founded in Scotland and still going strong world wide.
It is: "The advancement of Christ's kingdom among Boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-respect and all that tends towards a true Christian manliness."  
That could quite easily be adapted to read: "The advancement of Christ's kingdom among the youth of this church and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-respect and all that tends towards a true Christian life."   


 

Answer 4

Use your search engine and search on "Mission statement church".

Do like everyone else and copy what someone else said. Just change the words to fit your group.

No reason to reinvent the wheel.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Sounds like you have it. Be sincere. Do not make it harder than what it is. Look at the old one for a template.

I have a good feeling that you will be sucessful.

Good luck in your work.

Answer 6

reflecting on the night before jesus' execution

remember there was jesus, up there on that little hill
praying, begging: "I don't want to die, I love life, I love the little children....I don't want to die!"

the historical account records that the tears that jesus shed during that time appeared to be like blood.

after all this praying, all this beseeching....he ended his prayer with the following words:

"Let Your Will Be Done, Not Mine."

This is your mission statement:



LET YOUR WILL BE DONE, NOT MINE
