Vision, Mission & Values
Reflection Assignment based
on the learning from today’s
lectures and assigned
readings. You will have 2
weeks to complete it.

following ideas, examples
and discussions in
preparation for you to think
about and reflect on your
own vision, mission and
values.
“When I look
around, I learn
something, and
that is to be
yourself always.
Express yourself
and have faith in
yourself. Do not
go out and look
for a successful
personality and
duplicate it. Start
from the root of
your being and
ask yourself, ‘how
HOW TO CREATE A can I be me?’ ”

MISSION
Jesus: You know that
among the nations of the
world the great ones lord
it over the little people
and act like tyrants.
But that is not the way it
will be among you.
Whoever would be great
among you must serve
and minister.
Whoever wants to be
great among you must be
slave of all.
Even the Son of Man came
not to be served but to be
WHAT’S YOUR a servant—to offer His life

as a ransom for others.
MISSION? Mark 10: 42-45

compassion, some
humor and some
style.”

Our values tell us
what is important
in our life.
They are the
guiding principles

decisions, that
