Our Vision:
God has given us a vision that is personal, immediate and literally life and world-changing.
Our vision is simply:
you are l.o.v.e.d.
How is this statement visionary?
From the earliest stages of our ministry in the 1970s, the Lord showed us the importance of keeping love central. We even called ourselves Agape Fellowship after the Greek word for His unconditional love. As we ministered to students and others, He confirmed that our Fellowship was to be a place where we could know and experience the genuine love of God, and then carry that love to others. As the Lord has developed the ministry, we've never lost sight of the love of Christ which has the power to transform us, and compels us to share His love with others, especially the lost and hurting.
In the 1980s we changed our name to Christan Community Church and adopted the slogan "Hearts Aflame with Christ's Love," again reflecting the unconditional love of God within us.
Today our desire is that you would begin to embrace the immeasurable depths of God's love for you... and that in that process, you would be so radically transformed that you would long to share His love with your co-workers, neighbors, relatives and friends.
We use the following acrostic, which spells the word LOVED, to further illustrate our vision:
- Loving God and others
- Outreach to our community and world
- Victorious living as mature Christians
- Equipping everyone for ministry
- Developing children and youth
