We, the Church of Beaumont, are called as individuals and as community, to be living witnesses of Christ's presence and on-going mission in the world.  We accept the call to make the Universal Church present in South East Texas under the leadership of our Bishop and in relationship with each other as members of the Body of Christ.

As a community of believers, our mission is to live and proclaim Jesus Christ and His gospel by what we are, by what we say, and by what we do.  We give expression to our rootedness in tradition and in Scripture when we gather as a worshipping community.  We are signs of the loving and compassionate Christ when we care not only for each other but seek ways to serve the needs of the larger community around us.  We give credibility to gospel values when the dignity of each person as an image of God is the foundation of our respect for each individual and our commitment to social justice.

The presence of multi-ethnic groups in this area reflects the diversity of the Body of Christ.  We believe that this diversity is both a challenge and a source of enrichment.  The challenge lies in finding ways of sharing our faith and of developing the potential leadership in each group.  Enrichment is experienced when those relationships are nourished which call forth the unique gifts of each person.

We believe that faith-filled lives and loving communities will make a difference in this part of the Father's creation.  We acknowledge the need for conversion of heart, renewal of relationships and reconciliation of differences if our words and actions are to be agents of evagelization.

We, the Church of Beaumont, find our unity and purpose through continuing the saving mission of Jesus.  Sacrifice and courage are hallmarks of this way of life.  We open ourselves to the Holy Spirit to breathe harmony and vitality into us as the body Christ.

Revitalization of our efforts will be the our on-going response to the Spirit of Jesus who continues to call us to be a new creation.
