Mission and Vision Statement
The Christian Community Center exists to provide a loving and safe place where young people in Thailand can belong, believe the gospel, become disciples of Jesus, be equipped for ministry, and be sent to serve others and share the good news of Christ.
The heartbeat of the Christian Community Center in Thailand is expressed in five movements: Belong, Believe, Become, Be Equipped, and Be Sent. These words describe more than a program. They express a Christ-centered pathway through which young people are welcomed into community, hear and respond to the gospel, grow as disciples, are prepared for ministry, and are sent to participate in God’s work.
We begin by creating a loving and safe environment where young people can experience that they belong to something good that adds true and lasting value to their lives. Our openness, hospitality, and love are not ends in themselves; they are expressions of Christ’s love and opportunities to share the truth of God’s Word.
Through the Good News Club and the broader ministry of the Center, young people hear who Jesus is and what He has done to rescue sinners from sin and death. They are invited to respond to the gospel by placing their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receiving the new life that is found in Him.
Those who believe become children of God, disciples of Jesus, and members of the body of Christ. We desire to connect them with the local church and with other believers so that they may grow through worship, fellowship, biblical teaching, service, and shared life in Christ. Christ is the Head of the body; in Him, believers are joined and held together. We share one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism in Christ, one body, one Spirit, and access to one God and Father of all.
As members of Christ’s body, believers are called to be equipped for the work of ministry and for the building up of the church. This equipping includes practical preparation for service, but it is never merely physical or task oriented. It also involves spiritual formation, the renewal of the mind, the transformation of the heart, growth in the knowledge of the Son of God, and increasing maturity in Christ.
Our desire is that believers grow up in every way into Christ, stand firm in one Spirit, and strive together with one mind for the faith of the gospel. When each member is working properly and faithfully doing his or her part—whether by serving in the church, participating in ministry, sharing the gospel, or going elsewhere in obedience to God—the whole body grows and builds itself up in love.
Therefore, we equip believers in order to send them. We want them to be used by God to strengthen the church, serve others, proclaim the gospel, and welcome new believers into the fellowship of Christ’s body. We want others to share in this community of faith, because our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
This is more than a mission statement; it is the heartbeat of the Christian Community Center. It reflects the heart of Christ, who calls His people to be ambassadors for His kingdom and glory. Because we share God’s desire for people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, we proclaim that truth so that others may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Biblical Ministry Framework
1. Belong — A Community of Love, Safety, and Welcome
We intentionally create an environment where young people are welcomed, known, and valued. By demonstrating the love of Christ through safe relationships and genuine community, we build the trust through which truth can be heard and lives can be changed. Supporting references: John 13:34–35; Romans 12:10, 13; 1 John 3:18.
2. Believe — A Clear Invitation to Respond to the Gospel
We proclaim the truth of God’s Word and the good news of Jesus Christ. Young people learn about Christ’s saving work and are invited to turn to Him in faith, confessing Him as Lord and Savior and receiving new life in Him. Supporting references: John 3:16; Romans 10:9–10, 17; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Ephesians 2:8–9.
3. Become — A New Identity and Life in Christ
Through faith in Christ, believers become children of God, disciples of Jesus, and members of His body. We encourage active connection to the local church, where believers share fellowship, grow in unity, and learn to live under Christ, the Head of the church. Supporting references: John 1:12; Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 12:27; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 1:18.
4. Be Equipped — Spiritual Formation for the Work of Ministry
We equip believers through Scripture, prayer, discipleship, practical training, and heart transformation. The goal is not simply the transfer of skills, but maturity in Christ: unity in the faith, knowledge of the Son of God, steadfastness in one Spirit, and readiness to serve. Supporting references: Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:11–16; Philippians 1:27; 2 Timothy 2:2; 2 Timothy 3:16–17.
5. Be Sent — Every Believer Participating in Christ’s Mission
We send believers to serve in the church, minister in the community, share the gospel, and follow God wherever He leads. As every member faithfully does his or her part, Christ builds His body in love and brings others into saving faith and fellowship. Supporting references: Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Ephesians 4:16; 1 Peter 4:10.
Shared Commitment
We invite churches, supporters, and ministry partners to join us in cultivating this pathway of discipleship. Together, we seek to welcome young people, proclaim Christ faithfully, nurture believers toward maturity, equip the saints for ministry, and send disciples who will serve and multiply the witness of the gospel in Thailand and beyond. Supporting references: Philippians 1:3–5; Ephesians 4:11–16; 2 Timothy 2:2; 3 John 5–8.
