The Mission
Aley Church
proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and deed
that our church family, community and world
may see and know God's redeeming love,
calling all to become Christ's disciples.
The Vision
We see a church filled with people of all ages and
from all walks of life who believe in Christ as their
personal savior spreading their faith by constantly
and intentionally inviting others, including the unchurched,
to share in his love and grace. We see a worship environment
where the Spirit of God in Christ is present with
varied, culturally relevant opportunities to experience
this Spirit. The congregation is filled with people
who pray to hear God's call to service to accomplish
God's will and mission and the mission of this church.
The church is filled with an atmosphere of hospitality,
and openness, inviting and accessible facilities,
and attention to needs and excellence in ministry.
We see people called to discipleship while being
inspired by the Word of God and educated in the Christian
faith and way of life. We see people excited to practice
their discipleship - actively applying their spiritual
gifts through lay ministries in the church and serving
the outside community through acts of love and compassion.
We see people giving abundantly of their time, their
talents and their financial resources to accomplish
the work of God.
