CCNM  Vision, Mission & Core Values 

---

Vision:

We GROW. We GO. We SHOW the love of Christ. 

Mission:

Making Disciples by RENEWING faith , RESTORING families and REVIVAL in the city.

Scripture that threads both vision and mission together: Psalm 128:1-5 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,Who walks in His ways. 2 When you eat the labor of your hands,You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. 3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house,Your children like olive plants All around your table. 4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord. 5 The Lord bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life.

Core Values:

Discipleship Driven: Matthew 28:18-19 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen

Missional Minded: Acts 14:21-23 They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust

• We pursue this value by:
  • Fostering and Cultivating an environment to raise up leaders in our local ecclesia that have a mind to infuse the marketplace with the Gospel

Outreach Oriented: 2 Thessalonians 3:1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you

Lead from God’s Presence: Exodus 33:14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Lead in Love: Matthew 22:36-37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Love like Family: Acts 2:42-46  42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved

• We pursue this value by:
  • Fostering an environment of love
  • Encouraging our church family to engage each other inside and outside to church building
  • Encouraging our church family to get plugged into our many ministries and groups as to heighten their opportunities to build and experience community.
