Celebrate, Connect & Contribute

“There are really three gospels being heard in our society. One is forgiveness of sins. Another is being faithful to your church… And another is gospel is the social one, Jesus is in favor of liberation… All those contain important elements of truth. You can’t dismiss any of them.” - Dallas Willard


It was during an interview in the most recent Christianity Today magazine(www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2005/010/9.42.html) I ran across this statement by Dallas Willard. What grabbed me was that the three experiences of followership are celebrate, connect and contribute. When we challenge people to become 3C Christ Followers we are acknowledging the three dimensions of the gospel.

CELEBRATE - We celebrate what God is doing in our lives and in the church.
CONNECT - We experience Biblical community as we connect with others through small groups.
CONTRIBUTE - We impact our world as we contribute to God’s work using our unique talents, passions, and resources.
