MISSION
The Mission of the Florida-Georgia District is to serve, assist, and encourage congregations in the ministry of Jesus Christ.
VISION
People of the Florida-Georgia District are equipped, empowered, engaged…connecting people to Jesus.
“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
The people of the Florida-Georgia District are compelled by Christ’s love to connect the lost, confused, and hurting to Jesus, the true source of peace, hope, and life!
As those saved by grace, we must share the message of salvation. Our focus is on empowering congregations to help individuals discover the hope and joy of salvation. Our task is to ignite the disciple-making potential within our congregations, so that all people experience the life-changing love of Jesus.
Corporate worship and vital community are foundational. We love our neighbors by reaching out to people where they are, building relationships, and discipling others. We are Along-siders, called to live urgently, reflecting Christ’s love in our daily lives, so that the hope and joy of salvation overflow into the world around us.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
- We value the truth that all people matter to God and therefore to us. 1 John 2:1-2; Acts 1:8

- We value life-long nurturing of the faith (Christian Education). Ephesians 4:14-16; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Hebrews 5:11-6:3; Colossians 3:11-17

- We value servant leadership. Mark 10:35-45; Acts 28:3a; Mark 9:33-37; Philippians 2:1-11; Isaiah 61:1-3; John 13:14-17; Isaiah 42:1-4
- We value integrity. Genesis 39:9; James 1:22-25; Psalm 78:70-72; Ephesians 4:1-2, 14-16; Ezekiel 11:16-20: Jeremiah 31
- We value a trust in God and His people which frees us for responsible risk-taking. Matthew 15:21-28; Genesis 18:16-33; Matthew 16:21; Acts 4:8-13
Therefore we are committed to carry on this God-given, Spirit-driven ministry of Word and Sacrament through which He shares His love for us and empowers us to share His love with others.
