Vision Board

Experiment 2020

The Lehigh Presbytery Assembly approved an experiment … the Presbytery Lead Team was split into two boards to handle the work of the Presbytery and bring forth a new Vision.

The Vision Board consists of a small group of visionary thinkers who will work creatively with the Transitional Leader to describe and work within the cultures of Lehigh, problem-solve, challenge, and dream.

At each Presbytery Assembly in 2021, there was a presentation by a Vision Board Member. Scroll down to view these presentations and documents.

Lehigh Presbytery is called by God to nurture its congregations as they grow in every way into communities whose head is Jesus Christ, so that they will go out to make disciples, baptizing and teaching in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to witness, through their actions, to the love of God. cf. Ephesians 4:15 and Matthew 28:18-21
