Our Mission Statement
-- adopted March 2001--
In a changing world, the Presbytery of Cincinnati is called to proclaim and live out the Good News of Jesus Christ by welcoming diversity, forming partnerships, building unity, and connecting with our communities.

Our Shared Practical Vision
-- adopted January 2005 --
In five years, we would like the Presbytery of Cincinnati to be a vibrant community made up of growing, vital congregations and passionate people working together. There will be a culture of respect that is lived out among all entities and people. The presbytery will be an effective, responsive organization, known for promoting koinonia among pastors and church professionals and for equipping all leaders for transforming ministry. This statement is not exhaustive. It is meant to summarize the highlights of what we would like to become a reality as we are "living the vision" for this part of the Body of Christ -- the Presbytery of Cincinnati.

Our Strategic Directions
-- adopted January 2005 --
In order to make progress on our vision, in the next few years we will put our energy into the following strategic directions:

Building Trust
	We will build trust together. Without this, all the other strategic efforts will fall short and our vision will not become a reality.

Connecting
Connecting Congregations Connecting Presbytery and Congregations
	We will grow healthy and helpful connections between congregations, one to another, and between the congregations and the presbytery.

Empowering and Nurturing for Energy and Wholeness
Caring for Ministers and other Church Professionals Equipping the Saints Sharing our Successes
	We will cultivate healthy and effective leaders for our congregations and our presbytery through support and training.

Creating
Re-inventing Presbytery Meetings Tapping Our Spiritual Roots Structuring Our Lives Together
	We will discover ways of doing presbytery that enliven the spirit rather than deplete it.

Our Mission Priorities for 2008
Urban ministry Pastoral care/spiritual development of church professionals Building healthier congregations
