Connect with a life group
At CCC we believe life is better in circles than rows, so get connected in one of our awesome Life Groups so you can experience life and learning the way God intended. We have Life Groups for all people of all ages.
Life Groups exist as a place for 3 things...
1. A place to be real
True growth doesn't happen behind masks. Growth happens when we can be real with those around us. We never want you to feel that you need to be someone you aren't. We are all messed up and this is a place for you to work together toward relationship with Jesus.
2. A place to grow
Growth must happen regularly. We believe that the moment we aren't moving forward, we are moving backwards. Being in a group surrounds you with other people trying to live their lives in pursuit of the God who loves them. No one can consistently grow alone.
3. A place to belong
We don't have it all together and we will not pretend we do. You belong because we are all the same, messed up people pursuing the perfect father.
CONNECT WITH A
DISCIPLESHIP GROUP
At CCC we believe that we have been called to make disciples. A disciple is someone who is a "learner" and they are training themselves to follow the teachings of Jesus. With that in mind, we want to always make sure we are being poured into by a mature Christian who challenges us, holds us accountable by providing a safe-space to confess struggles, and someone who mentors us along our spiritual journey - with the end goal of the mentee becoming the mentor.
The CCC definition of discipleship:
"Intentionally equipping believers with Scripture through accountable relationships empowered by the Holy Spirit in order to replicate faithful followers of Christ."
"Intentionally equipping believers..."
Accountable relationships…
"Replicate faithful followers of Christ..."
The CCC definition of discipleship:

"Intentionally equipping believers..."
- Making disciples happens intentionally and never by accident or coincidence. That is why, at CCC, we strive to be intentional about our discipleship process.
- One of the most important habits we can develop is a healthy understanding of the Bible and how we can apply it to our lives. Because we value the Bible at CCC, our discipleship groups will always focus on what Jesus said, why he said it, and what it means to us today.
Accountable relationships…
- Creating an environment where people feel safe enough to share their struggles, sins, and burdens is very important to us at CCC. This is why we practice the phrase, "What happens in your discipleship group stays in your discipleship group."
- In these accountable relationships you will also learn to pray for one another as you pray for others, you will develop your story and how it fits with God's story, and you will learn to become rooted in the mission and purpose of God in this world.
"Replicate faithful followers of Christ..."
- Although there should always be people pouring into your life, there comes a point in time where you begin to pour into the lives of others - a point where the mentee becomes the mentor - it is the process of replication.
- This is one of the most biblical things we can accomplish:
- Adam and Eve - Replicate and multiply
- Noah - Replicate and multiply
- Abraham - Replicate and multiply
- Israel - Replicate and multiply
- Jesus - Replicate and multiply
