Our Mission Statement

Education that teaches the story of God's living word in the Bible to children and adults.
Caring that demonstrates the commitment to follow Jesus' commandments to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick and welcome the stranger.

Vision Statement
​
We are a church with a vision for future growth and ministry in Jesus' name. Our name, "The Holy Way," comes from Isaiah's vision of "Zion's Happy Future" in Isaiah 35.
​
We do hope to become a "place of gladness," where the "desert shall rejoice and blossom abundantly." We hope and pray that through an authentic ministry of reconciliation we can make our congregation a "family of God" that our lives will become more abundant.
​
We hope to be a place where we can see the "glory of the Lord" in our beautiful natural setting at the base of Cat Mountain. We hope to be a "place of healing" a place where all can "obtain joy and gladness." As we ourselves become a Holy Way, perhaps we can realize that Jesus our Christ goes with us wherever we are on our pilgrimage of life.

​​Welcome, Snowbirds!
​
Tucson’s southwest side swells with an influx of winter visitors from October through April. Winter visitors are a vital part of Holy Way’s congregation and we feel a new vitality as our sisters and brothers fill us in on the turns their lives have taken, and they slide back into their places in the life and culture of Holy Way. Whether you are here in Tucson one week, three months, or all year, we hope you will join us!

FAQ'S
​
Who do we as a congregation believe God to be?
Descriptors to this question included: Our Heavenly Father, Triune God, Savior, Creator. God is our father, who created the heavens and all in the earth. He created each of us and gave us a path for salvation through his son, Jesus our Christ. God is for everybody. God is God.
What difference does it make for us, as individuals, and as part of Holy Way, to live by faith in Jesus as our Savior (Christ) and Lord?
Living by faith lets us know that through the Holy Spirit we receive guidance, counsel, comfort and peace in our lives. By the sacrificing of His son, Jesus, God gives us the gift of forgiveness, to have everlasting life with Him. God gives love and changes our hearts so we want to grow in closer relationship with Him and practice Jesus’ examples of living in Truth according to God’s word.
What do we at the Holy Way believe about the Bible as a resource for developing a living faith in God.
The Bible is God’s word. It is our reinforcement of our faith in the Lord Jesus and our guide to follow in God’s footsteps. It describes the trials others have endured and triumphed. It lets us know that life is a struggle, but answers to these struggles can be found in the Word. It states how we should conduct ourselves in our daily lives. It reminds us to take our struggles to God in prayer, and that God will lovingly listen. The word of God is God’s love letter.
What motivates us to pursue the missions of The Holy Way?
Our missions help us follow the teachings of Jesus as his message speaks to us.
We have been blessed, and the mission activities are ways to give back to the community. Jesus called upon us to serve our fellow man. We, as members of this church, recognize that we must provide outreach and help to those in need. Our missions spread the word of God to those in need.
​​
How does the Holy Way demonstrate that it is a community which prays together?
One of the principal parts of our worship service is founded on the belief of prayer. Weekly needs are brought out by the Pastor during the service. We pray for each other, the sick, the afflicted, and the world. We pray as a church community for God’s continual presence in leading and guiding all our church activities and people. We pray for His Word to be the foundation of how we live our lives and practice in our church community. The Prayer Chain is active in praying for immediate concerns.
Prayer keeps us connected as a church family—God’s family. We join hands and sing in worship
Galatians 5:22 & 23 lists the fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
In what ways are these fruits of the Spirit visible in the life of The Holy Way?
​
In how we relate and care for each other; in how we practice our faith in the communities around us.
