[edit] Beliefs
CCC is composed of people from diverse cultural backgrounds, experiences and walks of life; All of whom have made a public confession of their identification with Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. All members believe the scriptures of the Old and New Testament, commonly known as the Holy Bible, to be the sole source of faith and the absolute rule of conduct for human life. They have determined to build their lives on Truth; the firmest and most stable of any foundation.
Each member subscribes to the belief that Jesus Christ is the only true Savior. He is the Lord of life, and the only way a person can have eternal life is through being united with Jesus, in Spirit, by repentance and faith. They also purpose to reach and teach others this fundamental truth.
All members understand that the purpose of the local church is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the development, preservation and expression of the life of God in the believer, through instruction and opportunities for service. Members belong on the basis of corporate fellowship, and mutual trust between one another. That trust, which is the basis for all relationships, is a core value of this organization.
