Our Vision & Values

  • Love Jesus

    (Deuteronomy 6:4–9, Luke 10:27)

    We believe loving Jesus is more than just words—it’s a lifestyle. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind. At CTC, this is the foundation of everything we do.

    Devotion

    We commit to a real relationship with Jesus.

    Loving Jesus with ALL means giving Him every part of who we are. Our devotion isn’t about religion—it’s about connection.

    We express this devotion by:

    • Loving Him with everything — our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

    • Talking with Him daily through prayer.

    • Fasting to surrender our desires and hear His voice.

    • Reading and studying His Word to know His will and grow closer.

    • Embracing His truth, even when it challenges us.

    Sacrifice

    We give our lives to Jesus and His mission.

    Real love involves sacrifice. Following Jesus means laying down our plans so we can live out His.

    We do this by:

    • Putting God’s Kingdom first in every area of our lives.

    • Giving financially to support God’s mission on earth.

    • Choosing God’s will over our own dreams and desires.

    • Making God’s purpose our highest priority.

    Kingdom Action

    We live out our love through action.

    Loving Jesus shows up in how we live and serve. We don’t just believe—we belong, we build, and we boldly act.

    We live this out by:

    • Living out biblical truth boldly in everyday life.

    • Serving faithfully in our local church.

    • Using our time, talents, and finances to glorify God.

    • Being present and consistent—attending more services than we miss.

    • Submitting to spiritual leadership for growth and protection.

    • Choosing unity and peace, even when it’s hard or uncomfortable.

  • Disciple People

    (Acts 2:42, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Mark 16:15, Matthew 28:19)

    We believe discipleship is not optional—it’s the heartbeat of the New Testament Church. Jesus didn’t just call us to believe—He called us to follow Him, grow in Him, and help others do the same. At CTC, we disciple people through Fellowship, Education, and Evangelism.

    Fellowship

    We build Kingdom relationships.

    Discipleship happens best in relationship. Just like the early church, we commit to walking together in love, unity, and purpose.

    • We build friendships and community with fellow believers so we can grow together.

    • We intentionally form friendships with those outside the church so they can experience the love of Christ and be drawn into the Kingdom.

    Education

    We learn and live the Word of God.

    Discipleship is about transformation—not just information. We don’t just hear the Word—we live it.

    • We are hearers of the Word—always listening to God’s voice.

    • We are doers of the Word—applying what we learn.

    • We are learners of the Word—growing deeper in truth.

    • We are teachers of the Word—helping others walk the same path.

    • We echo the Apostle Paul: “Follow us as we follow Christ.”

    Evangelism

    We bring others into the journey.

    Disciples make disciples. That’s why we’re committed to reaching the lost, loving the broken, and sharing the message of Jesus with the world.

    • We plant the seed by sharing our faith.

    • We water the seed through prayer and love.

    • We trust God to bring the increase and change lives.

  • Serve Others

    (1 Peter 4:10–11, Ecclesiastes 9:10)

    We believe everyone has a God-given purpose—and that purpose includes serving others. Jesus didn’t come to be served, but to serve. As His followers, we use what He has given us—our time, treasure, and talents—to make a difference in the lives of others and build up His Kingdom.

    We Will Be Involved in Kingdom Serving

    Serving is not just for a few—it’s for all.

    God has placed something in every one of us that the Body of Christ needs. No act of service is too small. When we serve, we become the hands and feet of Jesus to the world.

    • We choose to say “yes” to being used by God.

    • We look for needs and fill them with love, joy, and purpose.

    • We embrace a mindset of active participation over passive attendance.

    We Will Submit to Training for Kingdom Serving

    Excellence in serving starts with equipping.

    Just like Jesus trained His disciples, we believe in being prepared, equipped, and sharpened for effective ministry.

    • We commit to learning how to serve well—spiritually, practically, and respectfully.

    • We embrace mentorship and development, knowing that growth brings greater impact.

    • We understand that submission to godly leadership helps us serve with the right heart.

    We Will Be Accountable in Our Kingdom Serving

    Accountability protects our purpose.

    Serving is a privilege, not a performance. That’s why we hold ourselves accountable—to God, to leadership, and to each other.

    • We will be faithful in our responsibilities.

    • We will be consistent and dependable.

    • We will submit correction, seek unity, and serve with humility.

    • We don’t serve for applause—we serve for eternal impact.
