WHY WE EXIST
Mission & vision.
One commission, one movement, and a way of following Jesus that passes from one life to the next.
OUR MISSION
To honour God and make Christ-committed followers who will make Christ-committed followers.
OUR VISION
To see a movement of millions of committed followers of the Lord Jesus Christ meeting in small groups and transforming lives, families, communities and nations, for the glory of God.
WHERE IT COMES FROM
“Go and make disciples of all nations… And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”MATTHEW 28:19–20
WHAT GUIDES US
Four values. One word: LOVE.
Every church has its own set of values. Part of what unites CCF is our common set of values that help guide us with our priorities in our walk with God.
Love God, Love Others
The greatest commandment shapes everything we do — our worship, our relationships, our priorities.
APPLICATION
- Consistent personal devotions, prayer time, and personal study of God’s word
- Love displayed even for people who are difficult to love; seek to maintain good relationships
- No critical spirit or participation in gossip
- Private life is in order (free from immorality and pornography, computer games, and other addictions)
- Consistent sharing of the gospel and discipleship of others
Obey God’s Word and Authorities
The Bible is our supreme authority in all matters of faith, doctrine and conduct.
APPLICATION
- Application of God’s word in everyday life
- Decisions made and priorities set based on Scripture
- Submission to God-given authorities with respect and a positive attitude
- Display of consistent humility; willing acceptance of criticism, correction, and suggestions
Volunteer
Everyone has a part to play. We serve God with the time and talents He gave us.
APPLICATION
- Use of God-given gifts and talents to serve others
- Encouraging (or creation of opportunities for) others to serve
- Consistent leadership of (and attendance in) a small group
- Serving others even when inconvenient
- Tithes / offerings consistently given
- Good stewardship of God’s resources (time, talents, and treasure)
Engage the Family
Faith grows at home first — we disciple whole families, not just individuals.
APPLICATION
- Quality time spent and good relationships maintained with spouse, children, (parents and siblings, if single)
- Temper kept under control — no physical abuse, no verbal abuse (shouting, hurtful words)
- Set a Christ-like example for family members
- Family members walk with and serve the Lord
- Intentional discipleship of family members by having regular family devotions
THE D12 JOURNEY
How one life reaches another.
D12 stands for “Disciples of 12” — based on Jesus' model of discipleship. It's how we pursue our mission, one relationship at a time.
YOUR PART IN IT
A movement is just people, one at a time.
Millions is the vision. It starts with one person walking with a few — and you can be one of them.
