Vision

A faith family on mission,
to love God and make Him known.

We believe the local church is meant to function as a family - people who actually know each other, eat together, pray for each other, and walk through real life together - not a weekly event that strangers attend. And we believe that family is sent into the city of Miami to make the love of Jesus known across every neighborhood, every generation, and every kitchen table.

Values

Four convictions shape how we live as a faith family.

Jesus is Our Message - we preach Christ as LORD.

Every sermon, every song, every conversation about faith at Christchurch starts and ends with Jesus. He is not one of many topics. He is the message.

People Are Our Priority - we're a faith family where you can belong before you believe.

You don't have to have your theology figured out to find a seat at our table. Doubt, questions, and the long walk back to faith are all welcome here. Belong first. Believe on the way.

Worship Is Our Lifestyle - we glorify God in ALL we do.

Worship is not just what happens at 11 AM on Sunday. It is what happens at the office on Tuesday, in the carpool line on Thursday, across the dinner table on Friday. All of life, lived for the glory of God.

Mission Is Our Mindset - we equip everyone to impact their world for Christ.

Mission isn't a department of the church reserved for the professionals. It is the calling of every Christian - every neighborhood, every workplace, every conversation. Christchurch exists to send people into that calling, not to keep them inside the building.

Our Strategy: WIN, BUILD, SEND

Three verbs translate the mission and vision into how we operate as a church.

WIN the lost. Sundays gather us. The doors are open. The gospel is preached without apology and without shame.

BUILD the believer. Groups, classes, mentoring, and the everyday relationships of a faith family that grows people in their walk with Jesus.

SEND out everyone to live on mission. No spectators. Every person at Christchurch is sent - into a neighborhood, a workplace, a school, a family - to live as Christ's ambassador wherever they already are.

— SERMON —

What if science and faith were never actually divorced — and the people who told you they were got the story backwards? In this Mother's Day message, Pastor Kent Keller walks through Genesis 1, Psalm 19, and the work of modern thinkers like John Lennox to show how the cosmos itself testifies to a Creator. Drawing on the foundation laid by Bible-believing scientists like Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Pascal, and Faraday, the message moves through the anthropic principle and the fine-tuning of the universe, the unique genetic code in every human cell, and the profound limits of science — landing on Psalm 139 and the truth that a mother's love for an unborn child she has never met is the closest thing in this life to the unconditional love of God.

— BENEDICTION —

May this service strengthen your walk with Christ, deepen your wonder at the Creator who made you on purpose, and remind you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made by a God who knew you before you were born.

Thank you for worshiping with your Christchurch family.
