Mission statements

I was just going over some theology basics with my gf when I decided to start reading into mission statements. Every church has a mission statement of its own, whether it be self or denomination defined. Of course, it might not define the beliefs of every single person in the church perfectly, but it's good to know what it says. I'm wondering if y'all could post your mission statements here and whether you believe in what your church claims to believe or not (no debates plz).
As for me, I belong to a church that follows in the denomination called the Pillar of Fire. I bet none of you have ever heard of it, lol... actually, I didn't know that it was really its own denomination until about a year ago o.O but it is pretty big and international. Anyhow, here is their mission statement... Looking at it for its face value, I can't say that there's anything with my denomination's beliefs that I find strange or wrong. It holds a slightly Calvinist viewpoint on salvation, but nothing extreme; I'm comfortable with that. Their views on God, Jesus, the human race, etc all echo my own inner thoughts pretty well, so I don't feel too weird about the church I attend ^^
anyways, what about all yours?
