Mission Statement
MISSION STATEMENT
We, The Faithful Christian Laity of the United Methodist Church, have joined
together in love for God and for the United Methodist Church to help revive
and maintain faithful Christian witness and service in our local churches
and Annual Conferences. We provide meaningful avenues for faithful Christian
lay voices to be heard and opportunities for action as a means to that end.
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his
mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers
of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil
comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done
everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around
your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your
feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In
addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in
the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With
this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.”
— Ephesians 6:10-18, New International Version
