The Vision of Central Christian Church
Called to Christ and to Service in His Name
The Vision of Central Christian Church is a community of people committed to Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, united in the love of God, and called to make that love real to others.
Community: Transformation happens in a community such as worship, Bible study, or prayer groups. These small groups build Christian community by building community with one another. People experience community in small groups.
Committed to Jesus Christ: Every person associated with the church is committed to becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit: Transformation into Christ-likeness is not something we do, but something the Spirit of God does within us.
United in the love of God: Transformation comes when we allow God's love to grow in us and unite us with all other believers.
Making love real to others: The larger purpose of all the ministries of the church is to make the love of God in Christ a tangible reality in our world. At the foundation of all our actions is the desire to bring others into a loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Central Christian Church of Pueblo
Seeking and Serving with Love (Disciples of Christ)
“The Church is called to know Christ and to serve Christ”
Why the chalice?
The chalice symbolizes the central place of communion in worship to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The X-shaped cross of the disciple Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of sharing God's grace and love with the world.
What does it mean to be a Disciple?
- That the table of the Lord is central in weekly worship. To this table, all are welcomed; at this table, Christ is remembered; and around this table, we serve each other, offering to one another the bread and cup of grace.
- That judgment belongs to God alone.
- That the study of scripture is a lifetime commitment, with the clear acknowledgement that as a result, minds change and faith is continually making new discoveries.
- That issues of social division, such as race, gender, sexuality, income, education, or social standing have absolutely no place in the church.
- That persons who come from other Christian traditions are welcome without suspicion or condition, and their memories of worship and work are respected.
- That the opportunity and responsibility of leadership is available to women and men alike.
- That the gifts of God for ministry belong to all the people.
