The Three C's of First Church of the Gospel Fellowship:
Community, Cause, Corporation. COMMUNITY – FAMILY Acts 2:42 Tim 5:1-2
COMMUNITY
The church is a community; we are a family. This is why we call each other brother, sister, spiritual mom and dad. We can express and receive love, security and a sense of belonging in a family. Usually it is the weakest person in a family that receives the most attention.
We have a sense of dignity and belonging because we are a family that God Himself is raising up to become a unique ministry that works with the hurting people from inner-cities in Africa and worldwide.
CAUSE - ARMY Matt 16:18 ISam 17:29 IISam 18:5-17
The cause is the army of the Lord. We are an army with a mission that God has given us to reach the world. We are a mighty army set aside to do battle against the powers of darkness through obedience and loyalty.
Having the same mindset is essential for conquering new lands for the Lord. While in a family the basic values that are instilled are love, acceptance and respect; in the army the values are a sense of mission, strategy, accomplishment and finances. In having these same core values, we will continue to experience VICTORY after VICTORY!
CORPORATION – BUSINESS ICor 14:40
Besides being a family and an army, the church also functions as a corporation. This is the business aspect of the ministry. We recognize and believe in accountability to leadership in all aspects of the vision. Decisions are made for the benefit of the organization.
