NextSteps

This is why and how we care for one another

Purpose: We want to provide complete care of God’s people, the Church, by mobilizing the entire Body to intentionally care for one another. One would think that the Lead Pastor and Elders have sole responsibility to care for the Body of Christ. Yet, it is impossible for them to carry this responsibility of care alone. Thus, throughout Scripture, this privileged load is modeled and shared by the entire church.

This NextStep session is the church leadership’s attempt to create pause and clarity in the overall responsibility of churchwide care and the process we’ve develop to sustain it through the mind (heart) of Christ.

Step 1 must first be completed.

Evangelism Training: Put in place to equip and encourage each member of Commitment to share their faith and testimony with those who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Steps 1 through 2 must first be completed.

Deeper Waters: Put in place to assure that each member of CCC has a clear understanding of necessary doctrinal truths, which enables us to begin the Discipleship process, therefore keeping us accountable to God and aligned with the Scriptures.

Steps 1 through 3 must first be completed.

Financial Stewardship: We have recognized over the years that one’s financial circumstances can impede their spiritual development. As Matthew 6:21 reminds us, “…where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” So, with this verse in mind, we have created this “NextStep” to help God’s people overcome a very important issue of the heart which is defined by the condition of our finances. During this step, you will also learn how to establish a household budget.

Steps 1 through 4 must first be completed.

Spiritual Gifts Class: Put in place to help one better understand their giftedness and how/where they should apply their gifts within the Body of Christ, to help fulfill the Great Commission.

Steps 1 through 5 must first be completed.

One-on-One Discipleship Training: This begins our man-to-man and women-to-women Discipleship Training. Put in place to assure that each member of CCC has the opportunity to grow in grace through the assistance of another brother/sister, therefore keeping us accountable to God and aligned with the Scriptures as it relates to “making disciples”.

Steps 1 through 6 must first be completed.

Discipleship Training Classes: Put in place to further equip God’s people to be faithful disciples in all areas of life while investing their lives in others, giving them the opportunity to grow in grace through the assistance of another brother/sister. Therefore, keeping us all accountable to God and aligned with the Scriptures as it relates to “making disciples” of all nations.

Steps 1 through 7 must first be completed.

Church Leaders’ Preparation: Put in place to develop those through deeper learning, who are called to Spiritual Leadership/Ministry within our local Church or abroad through service to God and His people.
