Resourcing/Supporting Partner Congregations
Eastminster Presbytery will increase its provision of human, program, and financial resources to Sessions and congregations who are, or who are willing, to be about the business of training and empowering laypersons to govern the church and to develop and implement mission in the congregation, in and with their communities, and in the world.

Renewed Ministry
Eastminster Presbytery will identify one congregation per year for redevelopment based upon renewed vision; and after consultation and negotiation with the Session of the congregation, will provide expertise and financial support to assist the congregation in changing its mission/ministry to greater relevancy to its community and thus effectiveness as apostles of Jesus Christ.

Church Support
Eastminster Presbytery will provide specific and intentional ways and means by which the mission and ministry of the whole church, as well as our ecumenical partners, will be interpreted and supported with prayer, personal service, and financial resources in order to affirm by increased awareness linkages and interdependence within the Church and with creation.

Justice and Mercy
Eastminster Presbytery will work with denominational, ecumenical, social, and governmental organizations/agencies for justice and mercy, seeking to be an agent for abundant life for all of God’s people; and provide support and networking to assist individual congregations in developing creative ministries dealing with the justice and mercy implications of the Gospel.

Growing with Evangelism
Eastminster Presbytery will continue to provide organized support to Sessions which have declared themselves to be intentionally growing churches, and will continue to persuade those Sessions who have remained silent regarding evangelism and church growth to choose to foster evangelism and church growth.
