Reaching In
We Nurture New Life in Christ

The Body
1 Corinthians 12:27
You are the body of Christ and each one of you is a member
of it.
Romans 12:4-6
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these
members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we
who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all
the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace
given us.
Ephesians 4:11-13
It was [Jesus] who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets,
some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the
body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in
the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become
mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of
Christ.

We are all people in process people on a journey. Your life
is going somewhere. You're either drifting there or you've found
purpose in life and made a commitment to it.
At Christ Community Church we invite you onto the inward journey.
We invite you to grow in your knowledge of God and his purpose for
you.
The ministries at CCC can help
you. These include classes and/or small groups for children, youth
and adults. The CCC directory has a complete listing. Each week
the church bulletin has up-to-date information.
At CCC we want to be a caring community that reflects something
of Jesus. Through the ministry of pastoral care elders, through
small groups and informal relationships, we learn to weep with those
who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice.
We understand that people are not all the same. We have different
gifts, different life stories, different hopes and fears. We welcome
those differences. We believe that God creates the variety. And
trust that He will use each of us for his work.
We are imperfect people. The journey to a new creation is slow
and sometimes halting. We don't pretend to answer every need and
heal every hurt. But we follow the One who can answer our needs
and heal our hurts. And we believe that the journey is easier when
we walk together.
