Mission
Developing Empowered and Loving Disciples of Christ
Vision
We will be a church that is a vibrant, outgoing witness to Christ. Through commitment to God, His teachings and concern for all people, we will be a congregation that acts on what we say and believe. We will be a church committed to sharing and caring for each other and those in our community and world. We will grow in faith as individuals and as a congregation through prayer, study, service, worship and fellowship. We will invoke the power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen and guide His church.
Knox believes in accountable, empowered ministry. Each person is accountable for his or her ministry to:
- the Lord Jesus Christ
- the person(s) they minister to him or herself
- other persons with whom they share ministry
- the Session and congregation of Knox
