About Us
Mission
The mission of the Markham Woods Church of Seventh-day
Adventists is to bring the healing power of Jesus Christ to broken relationships--with
God, with family, with others, with the church and with nature.
Philosophy
Because we live in a sin-racked world, all our relationships are broken
to varying degrees. Even our best falls short of God's ideal.
Yet in spite of our own brokenness, God invites each of us, motivated
by Christ's example of love and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to participate
in His work of healing. By cooperating with God in this way, we
not only help others, but find even greater healing for ourselves.
As Jesus took the initiative in seeking the
lost, our church accepts the responsibility to actively seek out those
in need. Our church family is not a fraternity for the perfect
but a support group for those needing growth. Our goal is to accept
people where they are on their spiritual journey, providing an environment
where less-than-perfect people can be confident of love, acceptance
and forgiveness in a spiritual family.
But Jesus offered more than acceptance. He showed
us how we should live. Thus our goal is to encourage, instruct and nurture
those within our sphere of influence so that each of us can become all
that God has in mind for us to be.
General Goals
- Provide worship experiences that glorify God and
uplift the human spirit.
- Foster a sense of fellowship and belonging among
members.
- Create an environment where diversity becomes
a means of mutual enrichment rather than a barrier between individuals.
- Provide ministries for specific age, needs and
interest groups within the congregation.
- Provide nurture through spiritual instruction and
encouragement.
- Make training and outreach opportunities available
to every member.
- Provide a wholistic outreach to the community.
- Ensure the financial viability of the Markham Woods
Church.
- Support Christian education.
- Support the global mission of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church.
