First Presbyterian Church of Newark
Mission Statement

First Presbyterian Church of Newark Delaware exists to proclaim the Good News that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior both to those who enter our doors and to those outside wherever we encounter them, beginning with our surrounding community and extending to our partners in Christ of the Dinanga Church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This proclamation occurs as we:

• Share our faith with those we encounter (families, friends, unchurched, dechurched, etc.) so that they may know and accept Jesus Christ as thier Lord and Savior;
• Help people enter and become part of a fellowship that accepts, values, cares for, and supports them;
• Help people learn the Christian faith, grow in it, and live it wherever they may be;
• Help people worship God both collectively and personally;
• Equip people to respond to the Gospel in service by discovering what God has called each to do, developing their talents in this service, and renewing them throughout their journeys;
• Help people witness by word and deed that the Gospel indeed transforms lives; and
• Share what God has entrusted to us with those who are in need whether physically or spiritually.
