OUR MISSION

Why Mission?

Mission relationships allow us, as Christians, to live into our Baptismal Covenant, in which we promise to

"Love our neighbor as ourselves"

and to

"Strive for justice, and respect the dignity of every human being"

With these promises in mind, and with God's help, the members of St. Andrew's have established ongoing and developing relationships across contexts of difference both within our own community of Methuen, and with the African community of Nghumbi, Tanzania.



Through these relationships, we seek to learn about each other, to share and to understand, to identify God's gifts among us, and to share those gifts in ways that enrich us all. We try to do this in ways that create a balance of power, so as to give the glory to God at work in our lives.
