Responsibility for the direction of the church and the fulfillment of its missions is shared by its pastor and those members who serve on its committees. All members of the church are welcomed and encouraged to become involved in the organizational life of the Church.
Our Mission
We are a community of faith that strives to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God.
North Madison Congregational Church has special meaning in the lives of its members. More than a place for us to worship on Sunday and grow in faith through study, discussion, and sharing, it allows us to express our commitment to the Lord's teachings by carrying out His work in our lives and in our community.
We believe God is calling us to accept Jesus Christ as our hope, comfort, guide and example, as we grow in faith, love and understanding, serving Christ in our community.
Believing the church to be the body of Christ, we then become His hands: instruments through which He works. In this way, other lives outside of the church's membership have been touched—through its denominational mission programs and activities supporting refugee settlements, soup kitchens, shelters, and other humanitarian and environmental projects.
Our Covenant and Congregational Affirmation
We do now in the presence of God and each other confess that we believe in, and that we will love and serve, the one true God, maker and sustainer of all life.
We acknowledge Jesus, the man of Nazareth and the risen and living Christ, as the instrument of God’s work of revelation, reconciliation, and redemption.
We acknowledge and confess with thanks all that God does in our lives through the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
We covenant that we will serve God in the body of Christ, seeking to know the divine will and to live lives that will give God the glory.
We will support the universal church of Jesus Christ, and we will support North Madison Congregational Church as our chosen part of the church universal.
We will support this church through our prayers, our participation in public worship, our gifts of money and service, and our care, concern, and love for each other.
We will seek to grow in love, faith, and understanding and to love and reach out, as best we can, to all of our brothers and sisters of the human race.
