The Ministry of the People of Christ at Lakeway UMC

 

Our Mission:  is to Make Disciples of Jesus Christ.  At Lakeway we are guided by this addition:  “Worship, Learn, and Love, With a Servant Heart”.  Lakeway has been built and nourished upon a tradition of serving others with our passion as well as with our pocketbooks.  We have always brought offerings of time, talents, and service, as well as money gifts.  All of these are vital and life giving!

Outside our Walls:  The church is a unique institution in that it exists for the benefit of those persons outside it.  Our ministry is not to ourselves but to the community of people around us.  If our mission ever becomes preserving the church, then we will have turned inward and begun to die.

Ministry Plan:  The Pastor, Administrative Council, and Stewardship/Finance Committee are currently working on our ministry plan (or budget) for 2008.  We expect to present this in a form that highlights all our ministry areas as listed below.  We hope that this narrative budget will make more sense to most people than a spreadsheet.  This presentation will be categorized by our areas of ministry in an attempt to ask for what will be needed without making it necessary to keep appealing to the congregation for fund outside of the budget.
