Mission: What we are called to do

We are called to animate the teachings of the Gospels, making them a transforming force for social and individual change.  Our goal is a more receptive, open and healthy Christian community founded on truth and light.  We offer refuge to those in need, and an alternative to the primary message of the world today.

We seek to:

• Increase social awareness and responsibility by fostering understanding of social issues, and seeking ways to respond to human need and impact meaningful social outcomes;

• Embrace diversity by demonstrating a loving tolerance of and respect for all people; and

• Foster individual spiritual growth by providing a nurturing environment in which to learn, study, question, struggle and worship.

Style of life:  Characteristic of our living and doing

Selwyn Avenue Presbyterian Church fosters a unique "Selwyn Spirit" of life and action by:

• Engaging lay members in congregational care
• Connecting the interests and talents of our members with opportunities to serve God
• Serving our community, nation and world through mission projects
• Nurturing our membership individually and collectively
• Welcoming newcomers to our church family; and
• Seeking the truth that "we too may live a new life." (Romans 6:4)
