Background of the Mission Statement
With the union of the Wesley and St Andrews parishes into the Echuca/Moama Uniting Church there was a need for a process which would consolidate the church's strengths and develop a plan for the future direction of our church.
During
the 1994/1995 financial year, Church Council developed the initial Mission
Statement which clarified the future goals and priorities of the church.
These were then ratified by the Elders and congregation.
The
Echuca Moama Uniting Church Mission Statement has given all groups and members
of the church well communicated future goals and priorities. It has
encouraged members and groups within the church to share their gifts in order to
achieve a ‘future’ for the Echuca Moama Uniting Church.
