Mission: Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

This statement of mission is based in Scripture:  And Jesus came and told His disciples, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  Matthew 28:18-20

Vision:  “We envision Ramsey  as a place where all God’s people are welcomed, nurtured and transformed to be Christ to others in the world.”

Charge:  Serving the Spirit – Serving the Family – Serving the Community.
