that we are called to give living expression to the unity of the church of Christ that is beyond any human boundaries;

that by knowing more about each other, our lives and our churches, we will also know more about how God is at work in many different ways in the ways of the world;

that by listening to each other, God will speak to us in new ways and we can grow spiritually;

that by praying for and with each other, the power of the Holy Spirit will energize us;

that by doing mission activities together we will witness to those without Christ about God's great love that crosses all national, political, cultural and economic barriers;

that the partnership between our two presbyteries will be strengthened and deepened by congregation to congregation partnerships:
