Cliffdale Community Church
Resource Center (R.C.)
Mission of CCC’s Resource Center: To equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up (Ephesians 4:12 NIV)
Goals of the Resource Center:
-Provide the resources needed for works of service: people, knowledge, assistance, material, equipment, funds, etc. (the #1 resource at CCC is its people)
-If a particular resource isn’t available, the R.C. will try to provide direction on where to get it or facilitate a means to acquire it
-Be a starting point for Spirit led ideas/activities. If you have an idea, suggestion, or even a complaint that would benefit or improve our work for Christ, bring it to the R.C. as a starting point. The R.C. Facilitator will consult the Pastor and the CCC team for further direction
-Facilitate outreach activities to the community
-Facilitate ministries, programs and activities within the church
-Resource Center is not/will not:
-Promote or provide resources to any activity that is contrary to the Word of God
-Be used for personal gain
-Cause waste or abuse of any resource, we will be good stewards of God’s
Location
The R.C. is located in the main church building next to the Pastor’s office. We’re brand new as of Sep 2019, so things are still under development.
