Statement of Faith
Members of The 2008 Confirmation Class

   They came from Encinitas, San Marcos, Oceanside and Vista. United Methodists with a passion for mission met here in our church to discuss a new vision for ministry together. Our District Superintendent hosted and helped us to catch glimpses of this vision, where we see ourselves not as individual churches, but as campuses of the Church in the same mission area, working together to respond to the needs of people in that area.  This was the work and vision of our Mission Area Summit held here November 2. 
  
We, as United Methodists, see ourselves as part of a larger church, and indeed as a part of the world-wide body of Christ.  We celebrate our connections to other United Methodist churches and through our fair-share giving support the ministries of the denomination. The concept, then, of “Mission Areas” is not new, it is the logical extension of our understanding of being connected.
  
Often individual churches will see a need in an area and will set up the structure needed to respond.  Often this means that neighboring churches will duplicate these structures.  How much more efficient would it be if we were to join forces! We have done this already, and interdenominational, with programs such as interfaith and Operation H.O.P.E. So in many cases our working with other United Methodist Churches will be nothing new, but we look to expand that activity. Further, the vision cast would have us continue to develop new programs and mission activities together.
  
We won’t be doing this all at once, but will be growing our understanding of being campuses together in one mission area. Our gathering identified the next steps in this process. For youth missions, the Vista Campus will provide administrative oversight for a cooperative team to go to the Sierra Service Project. The Encinitas campus, already deeply involved in hurricane relief projects in Mississippi, will provide the leadership and organization for a mission trip. The San Marcos church has the facilities which allow them to host the Interfaith Shelter Network , but teams from the other campuses will participate. We will all work together on Operation H.O.P.E.
  
In order to keep and grow the vision, each of the campuses in our North County Mission Area will identify one person to be a point of contact for our collaboration.  Along with the pastors, this person will encourage our participation, will share information, and will remind us of cooperative activities as we plan and set dates on our calendar. 
 
                
We are indeed one in Christ Jesus! 
                
Grace and Peace,
                 George

Life’s Path

It matters not what path you take when you walk the path called Life.  Every path has its ups and downs with problems cutting like a knife. 
The path you take will not be
     smooth,
but will be strewed with rock
     and stone,
rivers to cross and hills to climb, and surprises strange, unknown. 
Those who walk with their
     head held high
with a smile and a merry heart, will not feel the journey’s stress, but will storm surprises rampart. 
-Max Foss (06/11/08)

Find the right path and invite others to follow

What is important to you in this life and the next? If you listed what is really important, would God and His

church be numbered 1, 10 or 20?

If you asked, you would discover that those who list God and His church as most important are:

1. committed to regular presence in worship, study and fellowship;

2. pray daily;

3. share their gifts of time and talents;

4. provide service in the name of the Lord; and

5. pledge to financially support their church weekly, monthly or annually.

They have joined a church and they are active. They have joined the education program and teach children or

adults...or they have joined the music program...or they have joined a committee or help in some other capacity.

In this process they have made new friends and begin to understand all the wonderful things their church does

as well as its needs and problems. They help solve the needs and problems of their church home just like they would

their own.

Finally they begin to realize how important their church family and church is to them. They want other families

to have these great benefits and they invite them to visit their church.
