As a result of our Vision Casting in September of 2014, we created our Vision E-Teams to help launch us into the future. These teams have been established to help First Parish’s ministries stay organized and on track with our vision.
Our Vision covers four key areas in our ministries:
EXALT: “Come, Praise the Lord”
EVANGELIZE: “We Reach Out”
EQUIP: “We’re Here to Serve”
EDIFY: “I Belong”
