What is
our purpose?
To
honor the Lord by encouraging and empowering teens to be fully devoted
followers of Christ. To accomplish that we will:
Join
students together in worship,
Extend the gospel to others,
Serve the needs of others,
Understand God's Word,
Share our lives with others.
What
defines us?
1. Radically Christ Centered
- "Jesus is the answer … every time."
- We are continually
living and proclaiming our need for Christ, the gospel, & His sufficiency
for us in everything (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
2. Mission Driven - "We
are agents on a mission from God."
- We do not exist
for ourselves but for others and are called to share the gospel with
them in word and deed (Matthew 28:18-20).
3. Loving Relationships - "
We is more important than me."
- Commitment to
a community atmosphere of love, accountability, acceptance, and vulnerability
without fear of judgment (John 13:34-35).
4. "Family" Ministry - "The
blind can lead the blind, but only in circles."
- Learning and growth
with the whole family of God at Christ Community Church through encouragement,
mentoring, and modeling relationships (Titus 2:2-7).
5. Transformation - "Every
day God is building His masterpiece."
- Taking responsibility
for walking with Christ in uncompromising discipleship, looking increasingly
like the Savior, and making sure my brother does too (Romans 8:28-30).
6. Joy - "Laughter
is good medicine."
- An environment
of joy, laughter, creativity, and adventure (Proverbs 17:22).
7. Maturity - "Life
is getting better all the time."
- Movement toward
Biblical maturity in every area of life (Proverbs 3:5-6).
8. Equipping - "Don't
just sit there - do something!"
- Informed minds
leading to enflamed hearts. Training and giving real responsibility
in doing the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13).
