Our Witness and Mission

Reproduced from First Presbyterian Church of Sun City 19633-1998, Thirty-Five Years of Spiritual Life.

As members of the First Presbyterian Church of Sun City, we affirm that our individual and corporate existence centers in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord.

We are an adult community of faith, gathered by God and blessed by God with a wide range of education and leadership, with time and resources to be challenged, and with needs of love and ministry to be met.

We are here to strengthen our beliefs and actions by study and worship in Word and Sacrament; to celebrate and bear witness to God's redeeming love in Jesus Christ; to claim the world as the arena of God's activity and the object of His love; to demonstrate love for one another by responding to human needs in our community and throughout the world, and to participate joyfully in the Kingdom of God.

Therefore:

We reach out:

• to provide the Word of God through worship and sacraments.

• to seek to alleviate pain and suffering in our community and our world by volunteerism and financial and emotional support.

• to offer fellowship and concern to persons in Sun City and beyond.

• to provide a wide range of opportunities for involvement in areas of education, social activities and community participation.

• to educate Elders and Deacons to be effective and responsible coordinators of services.
