CORE VALUES
In 2019, CCG taught these core values in a series called Family Values.
These teachings are linked under each value.
AUTHENTIC WORSHIP
Our worship of God is not merely external but internal from the heart. We not only aim to worship God accurately but affectionately. In our worship, we respond to God’s beauty, truth, and worth from the inside out. This involves thinking great thoughts about God, feeling affection for God, and doing simple acts to obey God.
(Sermon: A Life Of Authentic Worship - Psalm 34, Pastor Keith Dollar)
BIBLICAL INTEGRITY
We deeply value the truth of Scripture and how that truth is handled. So we make it our aim to understand and be clear about what the bible means through expository preaching and teaching. We aim to center our preaching and teaching on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Sermon: Biblical Integrity - 2 Timothy 2:14-26, Pastor Keith Dollar
RADICAL DISCIPLESHIP
We take seriously the command to follow Jesus in discipleship. And we aim to make Christ’s values our own while calling others to follow and imitate Him. God has given leaders to the Church to equip it’s members for this work of being and making disciples.
Sermon: Radical Discipleship - Luke 14:25-35, Pastor Mike Ward
FAITHFUL PRAYER
We are aware of our own limitations and God‘s willingness and ability to do the impossible. So we pray and continue to believe that God hears us and will answer our prayers in His timing. Prayer changes things. It is the means that God has ordained for His kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. The early church was a prayerful community and as they prayed the Holy Spirit moved powerfully amongst them.
(Sermon: Be Faithful In Prayer - Luke 18:1-14, Pastor Keith Dollar)
MISSIONAL LIVING
We are a people on mission with God. God has invited us to join Him in reaching all peoples with the gospel message. So we live with a sense of mission aiming to speak about the good news of Christ.
(Sermon: Missional Living -2 Corinthians 5:1-21, Pastor Keith Dollar )
LOVING COMMUNITY
Our love for one another is the mark of following Jesus genuinely. We make it our aim to do life together, weeping with one another, rejoicing with one another, praying for one another, encouraging one another & living out all the “one anothers” of Scripture. One of the places this is walked out in our community groups that meet in homes on a regular basis.
(Sermon: Loving Community - 1 John 3:11-16, Kevin Diaz)
UNIFIED DIVERSITY
We embrace and honor diversity in our church. Heaven is and will be a place of diversity with people from every ethnic group. There are core truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ that unite us which we refuse to compromise. There are also secondary issues and preferences in which we give one another freedom to believe differently without judging or breaking fellowship.
(Sermon: Unified Diversity- Ephesians 4:1-16, Pastor Keith Dollar)
JOYFUL GENEROUSITY
God has been abundantly generous towards us and the impact of His generosity leads us to be joyfully generous towards others.
(Sermon: Joyful Generosity - Acts 20:32-35, Pastor Keith Dollar)
