It is from our understanding of God's Will for His church that Our Mission has emerged. This broad statement is expressed practically in Our Purpose and influences our future through Our Vision. As a church we seek to live by Our Values and rely on the special trust we have placed in Our Leadership team. Our Ministry Structure shows how all our activities fit together.

God's Will

God's will, as expressed in His Word the Bible, is to see people won to the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19,20), built up in their faith in a holistic way (Colossians 1:28), and then trained and released for the ministry that God has for them. This ministry is both in the church (1 Corinthians 12) and in the world (2 Corinthians 5:18). We believe God's desire is that CBCC facilitate this process in the life of its people.

Our Vision

Our vision: Ministering to people for growth in Christ Ministering

1. Meet people at their point of need (Isaiah 61:1-3), so that we:

• see them come to Christ and grow in their relationship with him,

• assist them towards physical, emotional, psychological and relational wholeness,

• help them to fulfil God's purpose for their lives through ministering to others.

2. As a passionate, Spirit-filled community of God's people who are dedicated to God, each other and reaching the world for Christ (Romans 12: 1, Matthew 28: 19,20), we seek to minister to individuals, families, our local community and the wider world.

3. Following God's inspired Word and leading, with ministry that is relevant, we will grow in numbers and closeness to our God, whilst fulfilling our desire to plant self-sustaining churches in areas of need.

Our Values

The purpose statement of the church is based on and empowered by the following core values:-

1. We are Christian

• We follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and respond to Him as the head of our church, His spirit as our guide and His word (The Bible) as our final authority.

• We strive to do the best that we can in all that we do.

2. We are evangelistic

• Lost and needy people throughout the world matter to God, and therefore ought to matter to the church and its people.

• We seek to be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure.

• Where possible, our ministries and facilities are geared to our target community.

• We believe we must respond, individually and corporately, to the poor and needy in the world and stand for justice and against oppression on their behalf.

• We will work cooperatively with other churches to reach our community for Christ.

3. We are a worshipping people

• We believe that anointed teaching and worship is the catalyst for transformation in individual's lives and in the church.

• We encourage each other to glorify God through our lives, as well as through our corporate and individual worship.

4. We are a caring community

• We believe that the primary way of extending nurture and care is through home groups.

• We seek to meet people's needs in a holistic way.

5. We are an equipping church

• We want our church to operate as a unified community of servants, trained and supported by the leadership for ministry, where we use the spiritual gifts, abilities, skills, time, money and resources which God has given to each of us.

• We desire to bring everyone into full maturity in Jesus Christ.

• We believe that spiritually mature servant believers should lead our church with giftedness appropriate to their ministry.

Our Leaders

The Senior leadership team, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is responsible for the direction, organisation and total oversight of the church. It is composed of the senior pastor, together with overseers of administration, finances, property and overseers of each area of the Church. Various ministry leaders and home group leaders work with the overseers in their different areas of ministry.

Our Ministry Structure

As a church, we realise that people who come along to various activities are all at different stages in their journey with God. As shown in the diagram below, some may not have a personal relationship with God (ie Community), whilst others may have just committed their lives to Christ or may be new to the Church and are attending services regularly (ie Crowd). Some may have committed themselves to the Church through membership (Congregation), whilst others are committed to ministry, whether that be in a cross-cultural setting, within the church, or within the community (ie Committed and Core).

Our church seeks to offer activities for people no matter where they are in their journey with God. We have programs that minister to people with different levels of commitment. We hope that as God continues to work in peoples' lives, their commitment to God and to further growth and ministry will increase.
