New England Synod Vision Statement
Adopted at the 2002 New England Synod Assembly
New England Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
God’s Abundance: Live It!
Jesus said: “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
As stewards of the Gospel in a world filled with death, we joyfully embrace our baptismal call by:
- Praying Unceasingly
- Giving Extravagantly
- Insisting on Justice
- Trusting in Partnership
Walking together, we will:
- Invite 20,000 more people to worship each Sunday
- Double what we now give away
- Strengthen our ties with and support of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land (ELCJHL)
- Link every seeker and youth, every pastor and congregation with partners in faith and mission
