Christian Community Center: Belong. Believe. Become. Be Equipped. Be Sent.
1. One-Page Mission and Vision Statement
Our mission is to create a loving and safe Christ-centered community where young people can belong, hear and believe the gospel, become disciples of Jesus, be equipped for ministry, and be sent to serve others and share the good news. Supporting references: Matthew 28:18–20; John 13:34–35; Romans 10:14–17; Ephesians 4:11–16.
Belong
We welcome young people into a loving, safe, and healthy community where they are known, valued, and invited into relationships that add lasting value to their lives. Through openness, hospitality, and genuine care, we seek to reflect the love of Christ and provide a place where they can experience meaningful fellowship. Supporting references: John 13:34–35; Romans 12:10, 13; Hebrews 10:24–25; 1 John 1:3.
Believe
We faithfully share the truth of God’s Word so that young people can know who Jesus is and what He has done to rescue sinners from sin and death and give new life in Him. Through the Good News Club and the wider ministry of the Center, they hear the gospel and are invited to respond by placing their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Supporting references: John 3:16; Romans 5:8; Romans 10:9–10, 17; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4.
Become
Those who believe become children of God, disciples of Jesus, and members of the body of Christ. We help them become established in a local church, grow in fellowship with other believers, and understand their shared identity and hope in Christ: one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, and one God and Father of all. Supporting references: John 1:12; Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 12:27; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:4–6.
Be Equipped
We equip believers for the work of ministry and the building up of Christ’s body. This equipping includes biblical teaching, practical training, spiritual formation, and the transformation of the heart. Our desire is that each believer will grow in faith, in the knowledge of the Son of God, in maturity, and in a life increasingly shaped by Christ. Supporting references: Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:11–16; Colossians 1:9–10; 2 Timothy 3:16–17.
Be Sent
We send equipped believers to serve in the church, participate in ministry, share the gospel, and go wherever God leads them. As every member does his or her part, the body grows and builds itself up in love. We long to see more people brought to faith in Christ, welcomed into fellowship with the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, and prepared to live as Christ’s ambassadors for His kingdom and glory. Supporting references: Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Ephesians 4:16; 1 Peter 4:10.
