MARRIAGE ON PURPOSE
“Marriage On Purpose” is a life changing intensive for your marriage. This life-course is facilitated by Phillip and Darlena Fields and is an excellent tool that enables couples to discover their purpose for their marriage. It also uncovers and identifies areas of the relationship that can use restoration and repair. All of those who have participated in past courses remark about the amazing results they experienced and some claim their marriages were saved!

CONNECTING THROUGH LIFE GROUPS
LIFE Groups offer a place to connect with a community of believers who gather for the purpose of intentionally investing in one another’s lives through fellowship, prayer, and Bible Study. We have LIFE Groups for young adults, singles, married with young kids, and adults. These groups currently meet on Friday nights and throughout the day on Sunday. Please see our website for a complete list of LIFE Groups.

Welcome visitors! We’re glad you’re here!
We are honored you joined us this morning. As you worship with us, you will be warmly greeted by our fellowship, have an opportunity to encounter God, and be encouraged through the teaching of the Word. We value being a family of believers who love one another, gather together to encounter the presence of God, and believe we have been commissioned to extend the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

CONNECTING THROUGH WEEKLY PRAYER
1st Monday of the Month - Community Transformation Prayer 7 p.m.
Tuesday Mountain Movers Prophetic Prayer Meeting 12 p.m. - 2 p.m.
Wednesday Call To the Wall 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. (childcare provided)
3rd Friday of the Month - Prayer for the Nations 7 p.m.

Service Format…What you should expect
Following announcements, we begin each service with communion. We obey the Lord’s command to examine our lives in light of His sacrifice and impending return. The communion message is presented by a variety of members of CCC.
Praise, worship, and spiritual gifts follow. During this time, we encourage all biblical expressions of praise and worship, such as clapping, lifting of hands, shouting, dancing, and bowing. Such biblical expressions usher in the presence of God which is commonly marked by the release of various spiritual gifts. All are encouraged to participate in this portion of our service. Please see 1 Corinthians 12 and 14 for more explanation.
The ministry of the Word follows our time of worship. This is a time of teaching and preaching from the Bible. We encourage everyone to bring a Bible and to take notes. To order a CD of the service, please email Michele White. The cost is $3.00 per CD, plus shipping if needed to be mailed. (cccduplication@gmail.com)
On the 1st and 3rd Sundays, there will be an opportunity to receive prophetic ministry after the service from our trained ministry teams. We will have a table at each of the front corners of the sanctuary where prophetic teams will be available to you. Most Sundays, you have an opportunity to receive prayer for healing and others needs. This is not a time for extended prayer, counseling, or deliverance.

Nursery & Children’s Church
A nursery for infants through age two is located in the last room on your right as you enter the building.
Our Children’s Church offers
Pre-/K, and a 1st to 4th grade class. We also have a Discipleship Class for 5th - 7th grades. The overhead screen will signal the dismissal for Children’s Church during praise and worship at about 11:15 a.m. At this point, all children can proceed to class. Teachers will meet the children at the back of the sanctuary to escort them.
Please Remember:
~ Turn off cell phones when you enter the sanctuary.
~ No food or open drinks are allowed in the sanctuary.
~ Please use bottled water only.
~ Please reserve the last two rows for families with small children.
~ Parents, please accompany children up front during worship time.
