Our mission statement at CVCC is summed up in three words. Grace. Family. Mission. These three ideas also happen to be concentric circles of how we see grace permeating our church culture. As I begin to understand grace and righteousness for me, I can begin to see that the same grace and righteousness applies to those in my church family, and when we as a family begin to make that our identity, we can begin to operate with that mission in our community. The "mission" part of our church identity within our community will flow naturally out of our "grace" and "family" identity, when we truly being to operate as a place of grace and safety.
