You're Invited

By Pastor Mike Mitchum

In October, Robin and I will be hosting the “Pastor’s Class” in our home. It is designed for people who are making CNC their home church and would like to know more about our ministries, beliefs and future plans. I will share my vision for the Church. The class is always a highlight for Robin and me. We enjoy getting to know new friends and sharing the story of CNC.

It all begins on Wednesday, October 6th. We will meet on five consecutive Wednesday nights. Here’s what one who attends can look forward to:

  • Arrive at 6pm for dinner. Robin and I provide dinner so you don’t have to bother!
  • Meet some who have been in the Church for a time and others that are brand new to the family!
  • At 6:45pm we will sit and discuss the topic for the night. These include: My vision for CNC, the history of CNC, what we believe, discovering your spiritual gift, and how we support our missionaries.
  • Over the course of the class, you will meet each staff person at the Church. They will explain what they do to minister to the congregation.

I hope, if you have not attended this class before that you will consider signing up in the lobby on Sunday mornings in September. We limit the class to fifteen attenders, but if more sign up we will just plan another class! Please come, Robin and I are looking forward to getting to know you better!

Why be a part of a Small Group?

October 17, 2009 By

If you are wondering how to deepen your relationship with God and discover how to live as His disciple, one essential ingredient for spiritual growth is being involved in a small group ministry. Small groups come in all sorts of varieties, shapes and sizes. The majority of students who have developed a lasting commitment to Christ in our youth ministry have been in a small group.

A small group can help you grow in 3 ways in your relationship with God:

  1. You grow by growing with others.
  2. You learn about God’s word and how to apply it to your life.
  3. You share your joys and struggles and pray about the challenges you’re facing in your life. When you’re in a small group, you soon discover helpful ideas about how to love and live for God in a more meaningful way.

Whatever the topic or specific design of a small group, small groups that succeed do a few important things:

  1. They meet for a specific purpose.
  2. They emphasize a high commitment in order to develop relationships and consistency. 3
  3. Whatever is said in the group stays in the group; confidences are kept, not broken. And
  4. They are balanced, flexible and meet the needs of the people in the group.

Getting involved in a small group will help you deepen your friendship with God and others who want to do the same. (John 13: 34-35)
