Vision and Values
The vision of Community Covenant Church has grown out of a desire to be real and authentic about life and faith. Simply stated, we desire to be a place
Where real people meet a real God...to live in a real world.It's about bringing real life to homes, to our community, and to the world through the love of Jesus Christ.
This vision is expressed in our four core values:
EXPLORE
We seek to be a safe place to explore eternal truth revealed by God through the Bible. We must be "real people" in our exploration, not settling for cheap answers or religious pretense...and we must be a "real church" in presenting this truth in a way that is relevant to our world. Discovering truth comes through freedom, not through pressure.
A safe place with a dangerous message
CONNECT
Jesus taught that real life is found in being real with others. This happens through intentional times of learning, growing, serving, and just being together. Whether it is discovering who Christ is or growing in Christ, God almost always uses other people in the process.
To be real is to be known and loved
TRANSFORM
People who meet Jesus Christ are never the same! They are changed from the core of their being. The Holy Spirit does spiritual work in us, taking broken lives and bringing healing to our wounds...taking His people into the next step of spiritual growth which translates into lifestyle and behavioral changes. Transformation also involves equipping people for ministry and mission which transforms our world.
Real transformation begins in the heart, not in behavior
CELEBRATE
Life in Jesus Christ is marked by an atmosphere of celebration as we come together to worship. We intentionally seek ways to celebrate what Jesus had done for us. We also celebrate because of what he continues to do...drawing people into the exploration, connection, transformation process.
Life in Christ is worth celebrating
