The purpose of church

CLC has a real purpose, here and now, inspired by the church in Ephesus described in Acts 19. We see these as the purposes of any church:

To preach the gospel to all nations (Matt 24:14)
To shine with the glory of Jesus to be the incarnation of Jesus to the world
To be a carrier of revival, reformation and restoration
To bring in the final harvest
To bring the believers to maturity, knowing their identity
To speak prophetically to the nations and leaders
To dominate principalities and powers in the spirit realm (Eph 6:12)

Three pursuits

To be Passionate about Jesus (Mark 12:29-30, Matthew 4:23-24, Matthew 6:33)
To be Preparing for Jesus (Ephesians 4:11-16, Philippians 2:12, Colossians 1:18)
To be Publicising Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20, Matthew 24:14)

Our mission statement

Building a vibrant church in Cambridge to reconcile the city and its universities, creating a solid base from which to send out students to change the world

The mansion

We use the metaphor of a large house to illustrate the kind of life and community we want to impact. Each room has a different expression of life within it, with a focus on Europe & The Nations, Business, the universities and the local communities. All these rooms contribute to the overall life of CLC

Some of our objectives are to:

be a vibrant and influential community of people that instigate spiritual and social change in the city
see City Impact at every level: University, the town community, and the business sector
aggressively plant cells and tribes into these sectors
make radical disciples of Jesus: thousands coming to Christ and being nurtured, equipped and activated into their calling
establish a prayer shield with other Christians over the city
establish a 24-7 House of Prayer (Boiler Room)
Sending and supporting kingdom people in missions and places of influence
Training up and sending out church planters to establish new churches into Europe and Major Cities
Own Central Property and community houses
Establish a charitable wing of the church that meets the social needs of the city - setting up projects, supplying people resources and financial resources: our goal is to give millions!
