Denomination: The Fellowship
Cranbrook Fellowship Baptist Church also has Mission, Vision and Values Statements:
Our Mission: Proclaiming Christ for the Glory of Christ"
Our Vision:
CFBC seeks to be a multigenerational, multiethnic church that glorifies God as we “make disciples of the nations”. We do this by: Proclaiming to the unsaved the pure Christ-centered gospel; Expounding the whole Scriptures that believers might be built up in Christ; Sending, giving and going that the gospel might go forth to the ends of the earth; Extending our caring and committed community into the Cranbrook community through loving acts of service.
Our Values:
1. Gospel-centered: That which binds us together, that which builds us up as believers, that which we proclaim to the world is the pure gospel message, “that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (I Cor 15:3,4).
2. Biblically-based teaching: Disciples are those who are taught and thus we endeavour to teach the Scriptures and to teach them faithfully, rightly, authoritatively. Our preaching is expository, always seeking to explain and proclaim the message of the text.
3. Relational discipleship: Discipleship takes place through teaching, but it also takes place in the context of relationships, even as the Lord Jesus lived with and walked with the Twelve.
4. Prayer: One God-ordained means by which He works and carries out His purposes is through the prayers of His people. Everything that we do in Christ’s name is to be bathed in prayer.
5. Community: As believers we are united to Christ and brought into God’s family and therefore, we are also bound together as brothers and sisters in Christ. We desire that by living life together at CFBC, we shall display the depths of those bonds.
6. Everyone serving in accordance with their gifting: All believers are gifted for service (I Cor 12:7; Eph 4:7) and are called to serve (Rom 12:6-8). CFBC values being a fellowship where each believer serves joyfully in the particular ways that God has called and gifted them.
