We exist to share the good news of Jesus Christ with believers and non-believers and equip them to reach their worlds for the glory of God’s Kingdom.

God loves people. Our purpose is to love God and lead others to love Him too.

Our Core Values – W.O.R.D.
Worship – Living lives of…
Prayer – acknowledging our dependence
Praise – exalting God together
Repentance – reorienting ourselves toward Him
Prioritizing God moment by moment

Outreach – introducing those next door and around the world to our Savior

Relationship – sharing our lives with one another in various forms of community

Discipleship – Ordering our lives and our resources in such a way that we “give our utmost for His highest” at all times as faithful servants.

The ENVIRONMENTS in which we pursue these together…
We believe that the best way to accomplish these core values is for us to be a church of small groups. Therefore, our primary environments are larger corporate times of worship and smaller “community” groups. The community groups take place in various venues on Sunday morning and/or throughout the week. The Elders and staff seek to model this shepherding strategy and we encourage you to intentionally experience these two environments also as we seek to glorify God together.

Our Vision – Passionate Worship, Practical Service
Our Vision is to be a Bible-centered teaching, praying, and worshiping church: a place where people embrace understanding and accomplishing what God has planned for them.

Our Name
Christ – Our Savior is also our Lord who has given us His name (character).
Community - We exist to be in relationship with one another and to be a blessing to our “community” – Ardmore and Southern Oklahoma.
Church – We are a part of something much larger than ourselves – we are a part of the universal church of Jesus Christ – the “body of Christ”.

Spiritual leadership and Business affairs
Spiritual leadership and business affairs are conducted by the official board of Elders who are appointed to 3 to 6 year terms. The ratification of these Elders takes place yearly at the annual business meeting.
