The foundation and goal of parish vitality is our Lord Jesus Christ and our faith in Him. As the Apostle Paul stated, Christ is “our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30). He gives us life more abundantly ( John 10:10). He is the source of our strength and growth; and as the Apostle Paul also states, “speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ” (Ephesians 4:15).
