Vision statement
"Crescent Fort Rouge United Church looks at the future through Christ's eyes. Jesus offers us many lessons and paths by which to demonstrate our faith. The story of Jesus appearing to the disciples after the resurrection (in John 21:1-17) provides us with an image that seems apt to the future vision of CFRUC. When the disciples get to shore after a long night of fishing, Jesus has prepared for them a bonfire, and bread and fish are already cooking on it. As a result, the disciples are soon feeling well-fed and content, basking in the warmth of Jesus' fire. We know this scene at the bonfire because we have been there.
"As a bonfire casts a beckoning glow, so too, should our church home welcome all to gather, for fellowship, food and spiritual nourishment and growth. We see our worship as having the same feeling as being gathered in the hospitality of Jesus to have our spirits fed in worship together - in music, in word, in prayer, in community.
"Just as Peter did in this story, we repeatedly claim our love for Jesus. But love always comes with a challenge - "Do you love me? Feed my lambs. Tend my sheep. Feed my sheep." Out of our abundance we are challenged to share what we have."
Our mission is to nurture the spirit of all through worship, music, fellowship and outreach.
