Mission
MAKING MATURING DISCIPLES OF JESUS
Who Live in Christian Community and Bring the Hope of the Gospel to the World
At CCF, we’ve established the act of pursuing discipleship with Jesus as:
-
GOD-CENTERED: We pursue discipleship with Jesus to glorify God; not as a self improvement plan to make ourselves more self-righteous or earn the approval of God.
-
GRACE-FILLED: We recognize that we constantly need the grace of God, and the path of discipleship involves stumbles and falls along the way.
-
GROWTH-PRODUCING: As followers of Jesus, we are in the process of being transformed into His likeness. We cooperate with God to identify areas of our lives where we need to take the next step in becoming more like Jesus.
