STEWARDSHIP

OUR STANDARD OF LEADERSHIP
Our Servant Leadership Standards are the building block's for those who aspire to operate as leaders in the CPC body.
Daily Encounters
We pursue daily personal encounters with God, a lifestyle of prayer and fasting, exercise the discipline of stillness, and keeping a posture to receive correction, love, and empowerment by The Holy Spirit and our spiritual covering.
Matthew 6:7-15, Proverbs 8:34, John 15:4, 1 Samuel 3:10
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is not an option, it's a command. When we harbor unforgiveness we become a conduit of division and begin to operate in the works of the flesh rather than the fruit of the Spirit. We believe our greatest expression of Jesus is offering forgiveness.
Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 6:14-15, Colossians 3:13
Sabbath
We are committed to honor Godly confines to keep the Sabbath. We choose one day a week and keep it holy unto the Lord. The Sabbath was made for us to rest, delight, heal, and hear from God.
Hebrews 4:9, Exodus 20:8, Isaiah 56:2, Ezekiel 20:12, Mark 3:1-6
Tithe
We honor the Lord with our first fruits, a tenth of our weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, ect. income to support the work of the Lord. We do not give to a church, we sow through The Church with joy.
Malachi 3:8-10, Matthew 23:23-24
Unity
There is only one who wears the crown, and that is Jesus. We are gathered and unified by his banner and united by blood. We honor those fruitful and faithful, first in their personal lives, secondly through healthy demonstrated leadership, and thirdly through humble and trained usage of spiritual gifts, including the building office gifts of the apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, shepherding, and teaching. Through our unity we honor God and remain united for His greater glory and purposes.
Psalm 133, Ephesians 4:2-6
Biblical Examination
We believe Jesus qualifies each on one of us to be used by him, and we also see scripture teaching us the importance of disciple affirmation, fruit preparation, and office examination.
Matthew 6:7-15, Proverbs 8:34, John 15:4, 1 Samuel 3:10
OUR DISTINCT CHARACERISTICS
BUILT FOR THE GLORY
Attention
We honor the weightiness of God's goodness. When the glory is in the room, nothing else matters.
SUSTAINED BY THE PRESENCE
Rest
The presence of God is the evidence of His nearness, therefore we not only rest in His presence, but we are led, directed, and mandated by it.
HOUSE OF PRAYER
Privilege
Prayer is not an option or inconvenience to our gatherings, it is essential and a command we embrace with great humility and honor. We prepare in prayer and end in prayer because a house that prays is the dwelling place of the Lord.
ALTERS
Sacred
We believe in the power of alter calls. We invite a Kairos moment of time which one is compelled by the beckoning of God's Spirit to respond in faith to repentance, salvation, healing, or anything else. These altars are holy, filled with God's presence, and there are anointed vessels ready to pray to engage with heaven and wage war on the enemy.
PEOPLE
Connection
We don't believe people are looking for a friendly church, we believe people are looking for friends, not a family oriented service, but a family to belong to with purpose. This is why we are intentional about connection time, delighting in refreshments and fellowship at each gathering so we can grow together as a family of God.
TIME
Focus
We do not strive to be the greatest church planters, but rather the greatest wedding planners. We understand that a good wedding planner is one that knows both the needs and desires of the bride and the groom. It is our desire to allow time for the bride and the groom to fellowship, time for moments of conversation, and encounter. We gather with intentional time for these important moments between God and His bride.
