Steadfast Neighbor

How precious is your steadfast love, O God?
All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wing. Psalm 36:7
​
​
For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment.
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  Galatians 5:14
Session approved the Steadfast Neighbor Endeavor in April 2019 empowering the Strategic Planning Committee and related task forces (Hardscape, Landscape, and Mission) to continue to groom their plans, communicate to the neighborhood, seek permits and bids, and develop mission opportunities.

The significance of the name: “Steadfast Neighbor” affirms our commitment to the neighborhood and resonates with the “steadfast love of God.”  Steadfast in the sense of continuity, consistency, resilience, being there, and staying the course provides rich imagery for God’s faithfulness to us and God’s call for us to be faithful to our neighbors.
