The CIC Vision

Our desire is to see people restored in every area of their life by the power of God. The ministry of CIC can be summarized in III John 2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” Our vision is to provide: REDEMPTION, RECONCILIATION, and RESTORATION to GENERATIONS

Redemption

To the Unconverted

By exercising the authority of Jesus Christ over all the works of darkness as we evangelize the lost, heal the sick, deliver the oppressed, comfort the broken-hearted, and serve the poor (Matthew 18:19-20; Luke 4:18).

To the Christian

By equipping and training believers to actively extend the Kingdom of God in the home, market place, community, and abroad (Ephesians 4:12; Luke 10:1-11).

Reconciliation

Between God and Humanity

As ambassadors of Christ, we have been given the ministry of reconciliation in order to proclaim to fallen humanity that, through Jesus Christ, one can be fully reconciled to God (II Corinthians 5:18-21).

Between Ethnic Groups

Proclaiming and demonstrating that God does not esteem one race above another, while maintaining harmony and equality among every ethnic group (Acts 10:24-34; Galatians 3:28).

Between Socio/Economic Groups

Proclaiming and demonstrating that God treats all people equally regardless of their socio/economic status, and that rich and poor meet in God’s House without a sense of superiority or inferiority (James 2:1-9).

Between Young and Old

Proclaiming and demonstrating love and respect toward those of different age groups as we rejoin the generations of young and old (Malachi 4:6; Acts 2:17).

Restoration

Spiritual

By virtue of the atonement of Christ’s redeeming work on the cross, one’s spirit can be restored when conversion to Christ is made (John 3:16; Romans 8:1-17; II Corinthians 5:17).

Physical

By virtue of the atonement of Christ’s redeeming work on the cross, physical healing has been made available to all that believe (Isaiah 53:5; I Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:16-17).

Emotional

By virtue of the atonement of Christ’s redeeming work on the cross, one can be completely restored in his/her soul (Psalm 23:3; Isaiah 53:5; I Thessalonians 5:23).

Financial

By virtue of the atonement of Christ’s redeeming work on the cross, the curse of poverty has been broken (Galatians 3:13-14; John 10:10; II Corinthians 8:9).

Generations

Family

Nurturing the family unit so that our children and children’s children will serve the Lord all the days of their life (Joshua 24:15; II Timothy 1:5).

Church

Building a local church that in the generations to come will carry out the mission and vision of CIC as directed by God from His Holy Word (Matthew 16:18; Psalms 145:4).
