Christian Education


Hello and Welcome!

We’re glad you dropped in. It is our desire for you to grow and experience God’s abundance in every area of your life. We encourage you to explore this site and get to know our CE Team. As part of our service to you and our church, each department (children, youth and adult) has established a vision and mission statement that coordinates with the CCCM overall mission of being a “Purpose Driven” church. Our vision and mission goal is intended to be the driving force behind the decisions we make. We would be interested in your comments, please contact us and let us know your thoughts. Don’t hesitate to send us your prayer requests so we can agree with you according to the Word of God for your needs to be met.

Blessings!
Christy Smally and the CE Team

For those of you with children, please pick up your Parent Handbook located at our welcome table or download it here on our website.

 

Our Mission and Vision

Purpose 1: Love the Lord your God with all your heart .

The word that describes this purpose is worship. How do we love God with all our heart? By worshiping him! It doesn’t matter if we are by ourselves, with a small group, or with 100,000 people. When we express our love to God, we’re worshiping.

 

Purpose 2: Love your neighbor as yourself

The word we use to describe this process is ministry. The church exists to minister to people. Ministry is demonstrating God’s love to others by meeting their needs and healing their hurts in the name of Jesus. Each time you reach out in love to another you are ministering to them.

 

Purpose 3: Go and make disciples.

This purpose we call evangelism. the church exists to communicate God’s Word. We are ambassadors for Christ, and our commission is to evangelize the world… This is not optional; it is commanded by Jesus. We should not seek church evangelism for its own benefit, but because God wants people saved.

 

Purpose 4: Baptizing them.

A part of the command to ‘make disciples’ is symbolized in this purpose of the church: fellowship – identification with the body of Christ. As Christians we are called to belong and not just believe… It not only represents our new life in Christ, it visualizes a person’s incorporation into the body of Christ.

 

Purpose 5: Teaching them to obey.

The word we commonly use to refer to this purpose is discipleship. The church exists to edify, or educate, God’s people. Discipleship is the process of helping people become more like Christ in their thoughts, feelings and actions… It is the church’s responsibility to develop people to spiritual maturity. This is the mission and the vision that the our purpose driven approach is designed to serve.
