Values and Vision

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of St. Michael and All Angels is to invite all people to experience unity with God and communion with each other in Christ.

VISION STATEMENT

St. Michael’s is a spiritual and diverse community, committed to making significant contributions in the world. We offer ourselves in unity with God and each other in Christ. Our horizons have no borders.

VALUES

service We share a common vision of service and leadership to the local and global communities. We have compassion for those who are hungry, sick, or in need, and we minister to them.

ministry We pledge to provide congregational care, fellowship, and learning for the church family through prayer, worship and study. We share Christ’s love with each other.

diversity We are a committed community of faith where people from different backgrounds and perspectives openly share and contribute their spiritual experiences.

hospitality St. Michael’s seeks to extend a welcoming aloha. We extend Jesus’ invitation to all people with respect and compassion to join us. We pledge to share our hospitality with both residents and visitors to our island home.

spirituality We are pledged to help each other question, seek, discover, and deepen our spiritual journeys, building upon the wisdom of previous generations of holy women and men and everyday spiritual seekers.

FROM MAINTENANCE TO MISSION, WITH SOME TRANSITION!

A “Maintenance” size church is generally content to focus on taking care of its own and to do things the way they have always been done. This size

church tends to revolve around one person, the pastor, and so is limited in its growth, ministry, and outreach to the number of persons who can be in

relationship with the pastor. Its average Sunday attendance is typically around 100'150 and remains relatively static. It is typically dependent on just

a few key persons to fund the ministries of the church.

A “Mission” size church empowers multiple leaders, staff, and members to work together in teams. Such a congregation consistently reaches out

beyond itself to build bridges, initiate new and innovative ministries, and incorporate new people into the life of the community. There is a high

standard of excellence in all of its programming, ministry, and worship. There are numerous communities within the greater community. Its average

Sunday attendance is between 250'350. There is a high level of financial commitment from a majority of its members.

A “Transitional” size church falls somewhere in between. Typically such a church is marked by chaos, growing pains, stresses on the system, and

insufficient resources. It is too big to do things the way they used to be done, but not big enough to do things the way they ought to be done! Such a

church has to be very intentional about living into its mission with a high level of commitment from a majority of its members. A transitional size

church is often very inconsistent with its average Sunday attendance but generally falls between 125 – 250.

Previously, he was Rector of St. James Church in Austin, historically an African-American parish that quadrupled in size and became a model for multi-cultural ministry and the integration of the creative with the spiritual. Fr. Miller started his service at St. Michael and All Angels on February 19, 2006.

Vestry

In 2004, the Vestry examined and defined the mission, goals, and guiding values of St. Michael's. At the same time, it worked on establishing a committee structure leading to greater accountability and efficiency. The Vestry Committees and their purposes are as follows:

• Property Committee: To give oversight regarding all matters concerning parish properties, giving specific attention to maintenance and repair of the church and parish buildings, including the management of the property lease agreements.

• Finance Committee: To give oversight, development and management of all parish finances, endowment, budgets, and personnel policies, providing counsel and advice to the Rector on all personnel matters.
