The Mission of the Metropolis is:

2. To express the life of the Church in each of our local communities according to the Eastern Orthodox Faith and Tradition.
3. To sanctify the faithful, through God's grace in Worship, the Divine Liturgy, and the Holy Sacraments.
4. To edify the religious and ethical life of the faithful and by adding to their numbers by instructing others and receiving them into the Church through Baptism and/or Chrismation.
5. To educate them in the Orthodox faith and in the ethos of the Church through the establishment of programs, schools and philanthropic activities and implementing Christian ministries in accordance with the Holy Scriptures, the decrees and canons of the Holy Apostles and the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the Ancient Undivided Church.
