Christ Covenant Community Church

"Purpose, Mission and Vision"

Our Purpose: To display the infinite beauty of God in all things by exalting the supremacy of Jesus Christ for the joy of all nations!

Our Mission: We exist to glorify God by proclaiming the Word of God and evangelizing the nations, by discipling and educating the children of God, by promoting fellowship among the people of God, by developing service and ministry as the body of Christ, and by organizing worship for the Lord Jesus Christ that our joy may be full.

Our Vision: To be a healthy historic Southern Baptist church in the spirit and tradition of the founders of our denomination while continually conforming to the image of Christ by the Word of God.

Since Christ Covenant Community Church exists to glorify God by enjoying Him forever, we will fulfill this mission by:

Proclaiming the whole counsel of God's written Word (Acts 20:27)
Evangelizing the unreached peoples of the world (Romans 10:14-15)
Discipling believers in the historic Christian faith (Jude 3)
Educating disciples in biblical and theological studies ( 1 Tim.3:15)
Defending the Christian worldview from secular attack ( 1 Pet. 3:15)
Serving the community with compassion and humility (Jn. 13:35)
Ministering to all burdened and suffering neighbors (Lk. 4:18)
Fellowshipping with all true Christian Brethren (1 Cor. 10:16-17)
Worshipping the only living and true Triune God (Jn. 4:24)
Delighting in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ! (Phil.3:7-11)

Our Distinctives:

God-centered Theology and In-depth Bible Study (Acts 17:11)
Christ-centered Expositional Preaching and Teaching (2 Tim 4:2)
Nouthetic Counseling established in the Sufficiency of Scripture (Col 3:16)Covenantal Emphasis of Redemptive History as Revealed in Scripture (Heb 8:8-13)
Unity and Order through a Structured Constitution (1 Cor 14:40)
Accountability through a Confession, Covenant, and Loving Discipline (Matt 18:15-20)
Scripturally-Regulated Worship of the Triune God with Joyful Reverence (Lev 10:1-3)
Congregational Polity Led by a Plurality of Local Elders with Parity (1 Pet 5:1-3)
Loving and Compassionate Fellowship to Edify Burdened Members (1 Thess. 2:7-8)
Non-Manipulative, Spirit-Dependent Evangelism (Acts 13:48)
Global Missions in Joyful Obedience to the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20)

We also believe in maintaining unity with God's covenant people throughout redemptive history by identifying with the one, holy, universal, and apostolic church preserved throughout all ages.

We agree with the Protestant Reformers that the marks of a true Christian church must include, first, the sound and faithful preaching of God's written Word, second, the proper administration of the two holy ordinances instituted by Christ (Christian baptism and The Lord's Supper), and third, the consistent exercise of biblical church discipline.

We affirm "the five solas" of the Protestant Reformation as essential to our identity and foundational for our church: Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone), Sola Gratia (Grace Alone), Sola Fida (Faith Alone), Solus Christus (Christ Alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (To God Alone Be the Glory).
