Exalt

Above everything else, we want to exalt God in everything we do and say.  We want to talk about Him, learn about Him, and worship Him.

 

Evangelize

When we evangelize, it means we’re sharing good news.  That good news is this: Humans have two major needs: We need to hear from God, and we need a way to God.  Sin gets in the way of us meeting those needs.  God, however, in His grace, has made it possible for us to be forgiven, and to know Him and be known by Him.  Jesus Christ is the Word from God, and He is the Way to God.  There is no better news than this.

 

Edify

We want to build up other people, which is what it means to edify.  That means we want to encourage each other, help each other, hold each other accountable, and be involved in each other’s lives.

 

Equip

We want to make sure people are given they tools they need to better live out their faith, no matter where in their faith journey they might be.

 

Excite

God is exciting.  God’s work is exciting.  Being a part of a family like CFC is exciting.  We want to communicate that sense of excitement, of activity.  Our lives were never meant to be dreary – why should we settle for that?
