Christian Church of Clarendon Hills: Clarendon Hills, IL

Our Mission

Why we exist

 The mission of the Christian Church of Clarendon Hills is to build loving relationships with God and people through Jesus Christ.

The main goal

Our main goal is to help as a many people as possible get into a saving love relationship with God.  We realize the key to introducing people to Jesus Christ is building relationships with them by demonstrating God’s love.

Scripturally based

Our mission is based on a key scripture found in Matthew 22:36-40, “‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 

Mission applied

Within our Mission Statement are also six points of application.  These allow us to have specific standards by which we can evaluate everything we do.  These six things came as a result of careful study of the Bible, looking to see what God has asked His church to be and do, and then by summarizing what we found.  By accomplishing our mission we seek to grow:

• Stronger through Worship (John 4:23)

• Deeper through Discipleship (Luke 9:23)

• Wiser through Service (James 3:13)

• Warmer through Fellowship (Acts 2:42-47)

• Larger through Evangelism (Acts 2:47)

• Broader through Missions (Matthew 28:18-20)

Our Vision

A picture

Our vision is a picture of what CCCH will look like when our mission is accomplished again and again.  Our mission is to build loving relationships with God and people through Jesus Christ.  

And our vision is:

To be an authentic biblical community where no one stands alone.

Culture

As this vision becomes reality, we desire to see the culture of CCCH continually characterized by the following phrases:

• No one develops alone

• No one seeks Christ alone

• No one grows up alone

• No one serves alone

• No one struggles alone

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:2-3)
