• We will encourage and support congregations to grow in their particular ministries;
• We will support and care for our Ministers of Word and Sacrament and professional staff;
• We will create resources and programs to develop supportive relationships within the presbytery and with other sisters and brothers in Christ;
• We will initiate, encourage and support mission beyond the capabilities of the local congregation;
• We will develop a structure and provide resources to implement our mission, vision and objectives.
