Vision Values and 3 Focal Points
Since our founding in 1989 we have embraced and have been embraced by this mission statement: “Walnut Hills – A Place to Call Home Where We Are Welcomed and Sent Forth to Serve.”
This mission statement is seen everywhere - in our building, on our publications and in our communications. Our children, youth and adults are taught it. We feel it expresses why God has called us to be a church. In addition, we have been guided since our founding by these visionary core values:
Walnut Hills is a Community:
- Of today moving beyond the traditional by being in tune with the lifestyle, needs and resources of people today.
- Not bound by a single neighborhood, but encompassing all of the western suburbs and beyond.
- Willing to give itself away in whatever form that takes, knowing that in giving itself it becomes whole.
- Reaching out to individuals and families and other communities offering acceptance of the individuality of each, and affirmation of our need to be needed.
- Inviting individuals to learn about themselves and give themselves to a God wrapped in mystery and coming to us in love.
- Encouraging individuals to offer themselves in witness and service right where they are in their everyday lives.
