Mission Statement

Morgan Hill Presbyterian Church has adopted the following mission statement:

Worshiping God together, we are a Christ-centered caring church family. We proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in Morgan Hill and throughout the world, discipling all who receive Him.

We can discern in this mission statement five main purposes for which we believe we exist as a congregation.


Purpose #1: “Worshiping God together … “ = Worship

We were created by God to worship God. To worship God means to express our love and commitment to Him by making Him the center of our lives and living from this center. We believe that there is no greater thing we are called to do than to give ourselves completely and totally to the Lord – which is at the heart of worship.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.” Romans 12:1

Purpose #2: “…we are a Christ-centered caring church family“ = Fellowship

God made us to live in deep relationships with other Christians. We are called to care for, encourage, support, celebrate with, mourn with, pray for, and build up other Christian brothers and sisters. We believe that this kind of intimacy happens most effectively in small groups.

“We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.” 1 Thes. 2:8

Purpose #3: “… discipling all who receive Him … “ = Discipleship

God made us in such a way that He desires us to grow in our faith. We are not to remain spiritual infants, but are called to maturity. Among the things that we believe are important in our growth are the study of God’s Word, prayer, stewardship, and fellowship with other believers.

“Let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity…” Heb. 6:1

Purposes #4 and #5: “We proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ in Morgan Hill and throughout the world … “ = Service and Evangelism

God has given His church a mission. We are called to reach out to the world and witness in deed and word to the reality of Jesus Christ. We believe that the local church is the hope of the world because it is to the church that God has entrusted the life transforming good news of Jesus Christ.

“His intent was that through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known....” Eph. 3:10
