Jesus said that his purpose is worldwide in scope.  Disciples are to be made in “every nation” (Mt. 28:18-20).  This is the purpose of the global church. All Christians are called to participate in this purpose.  However, many churches are not mission focused.  The Cordova Community Church is, and will always be, mission focused. 

There is no way we can force people to follow Jesus.  That is a decision determined by the heart of the hearer and how they respond to the Holy Spirit (Mt. 13:18-23).  But we have a responsibility to proclaim Jesus.  When passionately owned and acted upon, this purpose catalyzes a local church for high impact. The mission is unchanging, is independent of personalities and individual passions, and has abiding relevance for all generations to come. God has made crystal clear His mission for Cordova Community Church.

Our Purpose is to “lead people to become fully developed followers of Christ.”

Jesus’ mission focused upon people being in the right relationship with God and one another (Matthew 22:36-40).  Therefore we understand the definition of a fully developed Christian around the three vital relationships.  The three vital relationships are:

•     Intimacy with God – John 17:3
•     Community with God’s Children – John 13:35
•     Influence with those who are far away from God – II Corinthians 5
