Christ Community Church
Loving God, Loving People
Christ Community Church is a God glorifying, Christ exalting body of believers who love God and love people, by making disciples of Jesus Christ.
Vision: Christ Community Church is a New Testament based great commission church, which serves, makes, and matures disciples as a community by living and loving as an integrated family, to expand Christ's kingdom through missional outreach.
Mission: Christ Community Church exists to worship God, fellowship in community and build the body of Christ by making disciples, baptizing them and teaching them until the Lord Jesus Christ returns (Acts 2:42-47, Mt. 28:18-20, Eph. 4:11-16).
Focus:
(a) Loving God and loving people - Leading people by the saving grace of God into a loving relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and loving people and teaching them to love as Jesus Christ lived and taught.
(b) Relationships - Providing relational experiences with God and one another through biblical discipleship and koinia fellowship.
(c) Edification - Providing Bible-based preaching, teaching, and worship. Guiding people to live for Christ and towards Christlikeness by experiencing God's Word through relationships.
(d) Outreach - Teaching, modeling, and providing witnessing experiences with unbelievers to reach them for Christ (Ma. 16:15; Acts 1:8).
Values: Principles that we hold dear and commit to following at Christ Community Church are:
Relationships - to bring people into communion with God in a distinctive and life-transforming way by virtue of the proclamation of biblical truth in dialogue, song, family integrated fellowship and interpersonal relationships. Intentional and relational discipleship is the core value to perform the Great Commission as Jesus Christ lived, taught, and commanded (Phil. 4:9; 1 Thess. 2:11-12; 2 Tim. 2:2).
Word - Providing expositional preaching and teaching of God's Word in the gathering, which is to be affirmed and continued through small group discipleship. By enabling expositional dialogue, to communicate all of what the Bible says, what it means by what it says, and what we are to do with what it says and means through life application and Spirit-filled transformation (Acts 20:20-21; 2 Tim. 4:1-4).
Worship - Celebrating the Lord our God through worship music and experiences that are God-glorifying, God-praising, Bible-saturated, Christ-exalting and Spirit-filled, with the view of edification of the body as we lift up praises to God (Eph. 5:19, Col. 3:16).
Ministry - Leading our people to serve and minister by giving of their time, talents, and treasure as a form of worship to God, and as a means to support the church's kingdom mission and to do "good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith." (Gal. 6:10; Acts 2:44-45).
Mission - Performing ministry, manifesting the truth of Christ's love, initiated and led by this local community (Mt. 22:37-40; 1 Cor. 12:4-7; Eph. 4:10-11), and to be intentional of living out the Great Commission of Jesus Christ (Mt. 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 9:2-8).
