Our Beliefs
Vision Statement:
"OUR VISION IS TO BUILD A CONTAGIOUS CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY, ONE LIFE AT A TIME"
Mission Statement:
"The Door " -CFC exists as a local congregation
to witness to the world of God's love as revealed in His Son Jesus Christ, our
crucified, risen, exalted and soon-returning King. We
seek to teach the Word of God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power
of the Holy Spirit. Our goal is the shaping and equipping of our church family
so that disciples will be
nourished and empowered to fulfill their God-ordained purpose and ministry. As
members of the church our desire is to bring glory to God through our public and
private lives. We do this by rejoicing in Christ Jesus; increasing in the
knowledge of God through the study and application of the scriptures; by growing
in godly character; by practicing Biblical fellowship; by serving one another
with our spiritual gifts, our time and our money; by proclaiming the Gospel in
Corpus Christi and to the ends of the earth.
Core values: Our mission is accomplished by keeping focused on our core values.
*WORSHIP AS A PRIORITY: We live to worship God joyfully and gratefully for Who He is and for all that He has done. (Jn.4:23,24)
*GODS WORD as the final authority for life: We seek to grow through the consistent application of scripture to our lives, our attitudes and our relationships. (1Per.2:2)
*SPIRIT-FILLED WITNESS to our world: We seek to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through personal witness, evangelistic endeavors as a church and through church-planting both at home and abroad. (Mt.28:18-20)
*FELLOWSHIP: As an interdependent people, we understand the value of meeting together as a corporate body and in smaller groups to bear one another's burdens. (Heb.10:24,25)
*GIVING AND STEWARDSHIP: We recognize that all our material possessions are a gift from God given to further His work and glory in the world. We value giving money to further the ministries of the church through our tithes and offerings. (2Cor.8:7)
*COMMITMENT TO SERVICE: The Holy Spirit gives each of us abilities to serve one another, the church at large, and the community in which we live. Discovering and developing those gifts to serve others is our constant aim. (Gal.5:13,14)
