Crossing Thresholds
Ministry Guide
The Crossing Thresholds Ministry Guide is the next step in living out St. Philip’s mission and core values. This guide brings together the hopes, ideas, and faithful work of many within our congregation to clarify where God is leading us in ministry. It outlines our vision, identifies areas of focus, and offers practical action steps for the coming years.
Our work together is rooted in the belief that growth is a gift from God. We plant, we water, and God gives the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7). This guide is our shared plan for planting and watering faithfully in every area of ministry.
Ministry Focus Areas
The Crossing Thresholds Ministry Guide outlines six primary areas of ministry:
Small Group Ministry – creating spaces for belonging, spiritual growth, and mutual encouragement.
Congregational Care – strengthening our network of support and compassion within the church family.
Christian Hospitality - creating a culture of welcome and belonging that reflects Christ’s grace.
Community Engagement – extending a spirit of welcome to our neighbors through events, partnerships, and public witness.
