Mission Statement

Where Are We Heading?

At our March Board Meeting, we chose four goals to work toward accomplishing as our response to what we feel God is calling our congregation to do in ministry during the remainder of this year. 

     2008 Goals for Deltona Christian Church

⇒Our Evangelism Ministry will mobilize our Congregation in response to the Great Commission by adding 20 new members by December 31, 2008.

⇒Our Stewardship Ministry will promote a Capital Campaign for our congregation by  August 1, 2008 designed to pay off the mortgage on our Fellowship Hall by the 45th Anniversary on February 1, 2009 and develop a  priority list of future capital projects.

⇒Our Outreach Ministry and our Elders will initiate at least two (2) support groups that would meet at DCC by October 31, 2008.

⇒Our Outreach and Evangelism Ministries will initiate a Youth Outreach by May 31, 2008 to partner with other churches, provide our facilities on a regular basis, and have at least 3 of our members present during events.  (i.e.., Concerts, Game nights, Movie Night, etc.)

I think it was Dale Carnegie that once said,

“Life without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.” 

A rudder-less ship is at the mercy of the winds and waves. 

The Board intends to set our sails and keep our eye on the goals and steer this church in a direction that will share good news, invite people into a relationship with Christ, and reach out into the community to meet the needs of youth and adults, as well as consider being effective stewards of our financial resources.

These goals are not the only things we will be doing in ministry, but will be ones that are measurable and doable.

I intend to invest some of my time preaching and teaching evangelistic sermons that will help people connect with God and the prophetic call to “do justice, love  mercy and walk humbly with our God.”

I want to urge our congregation to provide at least 20 - 25 members and friends to attend the upcoming F.A.I.T.H. Nehemiah Action Assembly on April 28th.  We need at least 20 folks to sacrifice one evening to work for justice in Volusia County. 

Since this is “Leap Year” everyone has an extra day to use this year.  I want you to consider using this one evening to invest in justice as we tackle a “Mental Health” issue in 2008 with our partner congregations in F.A.I.T.H.  Mark your calendar and plan on carpooling on April 28th.

Let’s all get behind the Board and work to make these 2008 goals a reality.  I will do my part.

How about YOU?

God’s servant and yours,

Pastor J. C. Steele
