It's Official! New Mission Statement
As part of the Transitional Team work with the congregation, we spent time together in two of our sessions this fall developing our new mission statement. The statement was created and blessed by the congregation and approved by the Board of Deacons on December 8, 2025.
A faith community on a journey seeking a welcoming, loving and just world.
This will be used to guide us and direct our programming, resources, as well as our social media, etc.
The Transition Team work has been enriching. It is helping define MPBC as a faith community, identifying what is important to us moving forward. I hope you have been participating. The next one will be on Sunday, January 11, 2026, immediately following worship. Please make plans to attend if you can.
We have no statement of beliefs because our core belief is in soul freedom and the liberty of conscience, meaning our members are free to believe whatever they choose. We have a covenant that informs our life together, which is the only statement of agreement our members are asked to make. Our Guiding Principles are our Church Covenant, Mission Statement, and Core Values of Community/Spirituality/Inclusion/Justice
