                                                         VISION STATEMENT

Our Vision  . . .

 

St. Augustine of Canterbury will actively encourage creative ideas and visionary thinking for the parish’s development as a spiritual beacon for Christians throughout the Omaha metropolitan area.  To accomplish this vision and support our mission, we will:

 

     •   Grow by incorporating new parishioners while retaining established members;

 

     •  Be faithful by encouraging and supporting a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ for all ages through

      vibrant programs;

 

     •   Encourage inclusivity by welcoming people of all ages, ethnicity, orientation, and marital status;

 

     •   Be caring by retaining the sense of a “family church”, and continuing the strong involvement of laity in all

      ministries within the parish and in the community at large;

 

     •   Pursue new programs that meet the needs of the congregation and surrounding community as our

      membership increases;

 

     •   Continue to evaluate and plan for the potential expansion of our building and grounds as the needs of the

      parish change


Guiding Principles for St. Augustine Acitivities


At the 2010 annual parish meeting the St. Augustine community

provided personal opinions of what's working and ideas for the future. 

 

Based on the opinions gathered, guiding principles were established.

 

1.    Everything we do should build relationships


2.    Everything we do should welcome, incorporate, and involve


3.    We should be intentional about collecting and using data to  drive our decisions and program development


4.    We must continue our focus on youth/young adult/young family programs and ministries
