As the Bay of Quinte Conference, we live in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We value:
the spiritual gifts of individuals,
the practices of our traditions,
the governing principles, policies and beliefs of our denomination.
We are called:
to support Presbyteries, congregations, and other ministries in their
mission;
to become worshiping, caring communities;
to become well-informed prophetic voices;
to speak loudly for justice and compassion in a divided, hurting world;
to discern God's Spirit communicating and moving among us.
In carrying out our mission we will:
encourage the expression and celebration of our faith;
practice faithful stewardship of our time, talent and treasures;
nurture and revitalize our leadership;
promote constructive dialogue and understanding of our faith in
congregations,
presbyteries and the larger church, as well as with our partners in the
ecumenical and multi-faith communities.
