This Church will serve the town of Little Compton, Rhode Island, and the world in its historic presence as a place of worship, a source of faith-based education, and as stewards for social programs, which will reflect our dynamic Christian faith in both local and global venues.

The "diversity of gifts" for which we are stewards includes the following: our social contract with society; the legacy and history of those preceding us; the needs of those, members and others, that we serve now and in the future; the community trust afforded us; the human resources of staff and volunteers; our expanding membership; financial supporters; our physical plant and its potential for expansion. Other "gifts" include a membership rich in experience and talents capable of sustaining the ministry of this Church, a vibrant Pastoral staff, an effective system of Governance, Lay leadership in Worship and Missions, and a capacity to communicate and coordinate our ministry through technology and fellowship.

As an historic place of worship, every effort will be taken to sustain the purpose of our sanctuary for prayer, presentation of the scriptures, and a gathering place for Congregational meeting.

Serving our neighbors in a ministry of caring and justice" requires that this church will identify those in need in the Little Compton Community through our existing programs, but also includes the challenge of a timely ministerial response to Community needs as they arise in the future. Through sensitive leadership, this Church will maintain its historic advocacy for programs and policies that support local citizens. Outreach beyond the community will continue through efforts to help those in need in other communities, around the state, and the world.
