Welcome to the Christian Church of Northern California-Nevada! The CCNC-N is the presence of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the northern half of the states of California and Nevada.
Our VISION STATEMENT:
"Hearing God's Call, Now and Into the Future!"
CCNC-N Five Year Vision (2008-2012)
To cultivate a faithful, growing regional church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality, and a passion for justice (Micah 6:8)
AND
To educate and empower every congregation to become a healthy, vital and living witness to the love, justice and grace of God through Jesus Christ (Acts 2:43-47).
To cultivate a faithful, growing regional church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality, and a passion for justice (Micah 6:8):
- Supporting the birth of 40 new congregations by 2020 that share God’s ancient love in brand-new ways.
- Facilitating existing congregations’ radical openness to God’s guidance and their communities’ needs (transformation).
- Living into our God-given reconciling, open and inclusive identity which challenges the sins of racism, exclusion and oppression.
AND
To educate and empower every congregation to become a healthy, vital and living witness to the love, justice and grace of God through Jesus Christ (Acts 2:43-47):
- Claiming a belief in a God of Abundance through practicing intentional giving
- Cultivating Disciples of Christ to be dynamic “evangels,” sharing the good news of God’s transforming love
- Developing authentic Disciples leadership for the 21st century church while engaging an ecumenical and inter-faith context
- Calling on local congregations to become “Missional Churches” where servanthood is integral to all ministry
- Creating soul-stirring, life-changing, prayer-full worship and spiritual development
(This Five Year Vision is the product of 18 months of discussion and input from Regional Staff, Regional Board, Regional Executive Committee, Regional Elders, and nearly 200 pastors and lay people from 5 Vision Van nights across the Region. It will be presented for final approval at Annual Meeting 2008.)
