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.

¿Cómo le pasas la fe a tus hijos cuando la vida no para?

El Pastor James Drake — predicando desde el campo durante su despliegue actual como Capellán del Ejército — responde una de las preguntas más pastorales que se hacen los padres: ¿cómo transmitimos una fe viva en una cultura diseñada para desplazarla?

Anclado en Deuteronomio 6:4-9 — el Gran Shemá — y en la cita que Jesús hace de él en Marcos 12:29-30 como el mandamiento más importante, este mensaje recorre tres movimientos: quién está realmente sentado en el trono de nuestro corazón, qué significa amar a Dios con todo, y cómo ese amor se convierte en un ritmo tejido en la vida familiar ordinaria — cuando estás en casa, cuando vas por el camino, cuando te acuestas y cuando te levantas. El sermón no aterriza en "esfuérzate más," sino en la mejor noticia de un Salvador que cumplió el Shemá que nosotros nunca pudimos y que lo escribe en nuestro corazón desde adentro hacia afuera.

"La fe no es un evento que realizas. Es un ritmo que vives."

— Predicado en Christchurch Miami el 17 de mayo de 2026.
