Together, we are able to accomplish ministry and mission that we would otherwise be unable to do. The mission of the presbytery is "to engage, equip and encourage congregation as together they serve Jesus Christ to transform the world." The vision of the presbytery is "for each congregation to be: vital in its ministry; supported in meeting existing and emerging needs; and connected in Christ-like ways for share mission, all to the glory of God."
