Visitors' Chapel CC Today

Our goal is to create environments where you can experience God and enjoy the adventure of recklessly following Jesus. We also believe in the importance of cultivating a purpose driven atmosphere - a place where we can worship, study and grow together in authentic relationships with one another and Christ.

WE WILL BE WILLING TO PUT OUR PREFERENCES ASIDE TO REACH MORE PEOPLE

Each one of us will like things a certain way and that is completely acceptable. However, our main objective as kingdom citizens is to help connect as many people as we can to the life-giving message of Jesus. If that means going against what we prefer, then we need to be all for it.

WE WILL MODEL GENEROSITY

Generosity shows that we understand God’s generosity towards us and enables us to have proper priorities in our lives. God should not get our leftovers, He should get the best of us. We know things can’t be right with God if we aren’t practicing generosity in our daily life. We will model this by giving freely our time,talents and tithes.
