Mission Statement of a Moravian Pietist Congregation

Add UOJ and opposition to sound doctrine.

• Living in Fellowship.
• Growing in Christ.
• Activating our family of faith in unity by Christ’s example of sharing, caring and praying.

I ran across this mission statement, above,  from a Moravian congregation in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. The wording reminded me of many similar expressions from WELS, LCMS, and ELS congregations:

1. Inoffensive.
2. Vague.
3. Non-confessional.

Non-confessional is really anti-confessional, because the need to avoid all doctrinal discussions is the path to total indifference and apostasy.
