Live in the kingdom of God in such a way that it provokes questions for which the gospel is the answer. – Lesslie Newbegin

The Regional Synod of the Mid-Atlantics recognizes that the church needs to be responsive to the changing needs of the world in which we minister with the unchanging truth of God as revealed in the Scriptures and the person of Jesus Christ. 

Our mission, vision and values therefore reflect ministry emphases that may be refined as the body of Christ continues to be built up and as the world around us continually requires fresh, relevant ministry.
