Mission Yearbook - May 10, 2009
Palo Cristi Presbyterian Church

Palo Cristi Presbyterian Church is an inclusive community which believes that God embraces all persons equally, no matter their gender, race, sexual orientation, age, ability or economic condition. We welcome the full participation of all people into the life and ministry of the church.

With our new pastor, Debra Avery, Palo Cristi is in the midst of a congregational transformation process, intentionally devoting time and energy to discerning God's vision and mission for our church. Elders, deacons, and other church leaders gather to explore their spiritual gifts and how those gifts might be used in church and in the world. We want to continue to create spiritual energy, explore our congregational identity, build our ministry team, be more involved in the community, develop our ministry plan and build the financial base to further the ministry of Jesus Christ. The denominational resources (www.churchwidetransformation.org) have been instrumental in helping us to discern God's intentions for Palo Christi.

Come see what God is doing! Pray for us and keep up with our activities through our web site at www.palocristipres.org.
