 Our Mission
Given: Hypocrisy makes the church irrelevant.
Given: True, gracious purity is an important tool for assurance,
edification, and evangelism. And yet today such purity is too often neglected.
Then: Our mission is to call the church to be the attractive bride of Christ
that He has bought her and made her to be. We do this by instructing and encouraging
pastors and other church leaders.
Our Objective
With a renewed prominence given to the authority of Scripture among many evangelical
Christians, an increase in secularism and a decline in denominational loyalties,
traditions are being widely questioned today. We believe there is an openness to and even
a hunger for re-thinking the church in evangelical circles. Now is a moment of opportunity
to redefine the church in a healthier, more biblical way.
The Center for Church Reform seeks to change the manner in which pastors and leaders
understand the local church. We want to refocus attention on the value of healthy
congregations. We want to reconnect careful biblical theology with church practice.
C.C.R. provides an educational forum to discuss, examine and debate the elements of a
model local church.
In addition to teaching we wish to present a model which is constantly being reformed by
the Word of God. The four primary channels through which we seek to demonstrate a healthy
church model include:
» Media: radio, web-site, tape ministry
» Study: conferences, internships, sabbaticals
» Publishing: books, pamphlets, papers
» Outreach: think tanks and travel
