OUR MISSION AND VISION
The MISSION of Clarence Global Methodist Church is to lead others to connect with Jesus, his people and his purposes.
The VISION of our church is be a caring community where people of all ages love taking their next steps of faith.
WHY is this our mission and vision? Because we believe that our character, our lives, our relationships, our experience and influence in the world will always, always, always be better when we trust in and live for the honor and purposes of God. The brokenness and sin in our hearts and habits is washed away and the image of God is restored in us through faith in Christ. That’s the beauty of the grace of God. So, we want to be a community among whom anyone can hear about the Good News, explore it and ultimately embrace it in community.
