Mission & Vision

Anchored in scripture. Devoted to Christ. Committed to community.

Our Mission Statement

"To seek, teach, and live the gospel of Jesus Christ — making disciples within the Cowichan Valley and beyond, through faithful worship, compassionate service, and the transforming power of God's Word."

At Community Christian Church in Duncan, BC, our mission flows from the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18–20. We believe the Church exists not for itself, but for the world Christ came to save. Every programme, every gathering, and every act of service is shaped by our desire to reflect Jesus faithfully and to welcome every person into His family.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving Cowichan Valley where every person — regardless of background, history, or circumstance — finds genuine belonging, enduring truth, and life-changing transformation through a living relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

We see a congregation that is deeply rooted in the ancient gospel and boldly relevant to the needs of today's community — a church where scripture is taught faithfully, relationships are cultivated intentionally, and the love of Christ is demonstrated tangibly in the streets of Duncan and beyond.

Our vision is to be a church that the city of Duncan is grateful for — known not for its programmes alone, but for the character of its people and the depth of its love.

Our Core Values

These six convictions shape everything we do — from Sunday worship to weekday service.

📖 Biblical Authority

We accept the Bible — and the Bible alone — as our guide for faith and practice. No creed, tradition, or human opinion supersedes the clear teaching of God's Word.

✚ Christlike Discipleship

We are committed to the lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus — in thought, speech, action, and relationship. Discipleship is not a programme; it is a way of life.

💕 Authentic Community

We pursue real, honest, and caring relationships within the congregation — bearing one another's burdens, celebrating victories, and walking through struggles together.

🌟 Reverent Worship

Our worship is offered to God alone — in spirit and in truth. We worship a cappella, as the early church did, allowing unaccompanied voices to unite in praise.

♨ Grace & Truth

We hold the tension of speaking truth clearly and extending grace generously — just as Jesus did. We neither water down the gospel nor shut the door to those still finding their way.

🌎 Compassionate Service

Faith without works is dead. We serve our neighbours in Duncan and the Cowichan Valley not to earn favour, but because Christ's love compels us to act.

How We Live Our Mission

Our mission is not a statement on a wall — it is expressed in the daily and weekly rhythms of our congregation.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
— Matthew 28:19–20 (ESV)
