Christ Commission Fellowship is a movement of Christ-committed followers. Its mission is to make disciples who will make disciples (Matt. 28:18-20).

Now on its 28th­_­ year, CCF is a growing church of over 30 outreaches in the Philippines and thousands of house churches abroad. Its leadership was led by the Lord to build a worship and training venue, school, and youth center for the growing number of Christ-committed followers. This is the birth of the new CCF Center.

CCF reaches another milestone in its history with the church’s inaugural worship service in the new building. This new chapter in the CCF story is part of God’s plan to draw more people to Him so that the world will know Him.

THE CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING.

In the Bible, the word church comes from the Greek word ekklesia which means community, assembly, called out people. The church is not a building or a structure. The church is God’s people (read Col. 4:5; 1 Cor. 16:19).

“To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.” 1 Corinthians 1:2

The church is a community of people who have been set apart for Christ by faith in Christ. If you have trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are part of the church. You don’t go to church when you go to a building. The building is just a venue for the church to gather and worship God.

JESUS IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH; WE ARE HIS BODY.

“And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1:22-23

Jesus is the Head of the church and we are His body. It is a privilege to be Jesus’ arms, feet and mouth to the world (1 Cor. 12:27; Col. 1:16, 18). Because we are the extension of His body, His representatives, and agents of change in the world, we must be Christ-like. Do people see Christ in us?

As a new chapter in the CCF story unfolds, we must not lose sight of the mission, the message, and the motivation of our calling. The mission is to make disciples who will make disciples. The message is Jesus Himself. The motivation is love for God and others.

It is our privilege to partner with God’s agenda in CCF to make Him known.
