Adopted by the CCCC Board of Directors – April 2026
Vision:
A mosaic of Christ-abiding churches multiplying and making disciples one life at a time.
Mission:
The CCCC develops Christ-like leaders, builds disciple-making churches, and multiplies gospel-centered congregations for the advance of God’s kingdom.
1. Developing and Caring for Pastors
Pastors are the heartbeat of every Christ-abiding church. When pastors are spiritually nourished, vocationally equipped, and personally cared for, they are empowered to lead congregations that truly abide in Christ. The CCCC’s commitment to pastor development recognizes that disciple-making happens one life at a time — and that it begins with the shepherd. A healthy pastor shapes a healthy church, and a healthy church reflects the beauty of the mosaic the CCCC is called to build throughout its fellowship.
2. Developing Churches
Each church in the CCCC is a unique tile in a larger mosaic — distinct in context, culture, and congregation, yet unified in Christ and mission. Developing churches means equipping them to be genuinely Christ-abiding: rooted in Scripture, relationally vibrant, and actively making disciples within their communities. As each church grows in health and faithfulness, it contributes its own color and character to the broader Conference mosaic, revealing the gospel’s richness across diverse communities.
3. Multiplying Churches
A mosaic grows as new tiles are added. Multiplying churches is the outward, generative expression of the mission — new congregations are born, new communities are reached, and new disciples are made, one life at a time. Church multiplication is not merely a growth strategy; it is faithful obedience to the call of Christ. Each new church plant extends the mosaic, bringing the presence of a Christ-abiding community to places and people not yet reached.
How They Fit Together
These three priorities work together as a unified, self-reinforcing movement. Flourishing pastors lead developed churches, which multiply into new churches. Each new church adds another expression of Christ-abiding community to the mosaic — one life, one congregation, one community at a time.
