In November 2009, the Mission Study Committee was appointed by the session of First Presbyterian Church, Boulder, Colorado, to discern God’s vision for our church. The task given by session was to take the needed time to listen to God and the congregation. We have specifically sought to understand who we are as a church, whom we are being called to serve, and what God is calling us to be and to do.
For over six months, the committee has prayed and met together weekly. We have had many individual and group conversations with staff, congregation attendees and members, gathered hundreds of pages of written input, and sponsored church-wide prayer gatherings and congregational forums. The result of our work is a full report which is available in print at the Connections Center in the Atrium, in the church office and on the First Pres Web site, www.fpcboulder.org. This report highlights key findings and recommendations from the longer report. In the final section, “What God Is Calling Us To Be and To Do,” specific recommendations for action are presented in their entirety.
And we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who love Him,
who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28 [NIV]
