About Us

Motto

Vision

Our vision is to be an expression of God's Love in the world. We are an inclusive and diverse church; a place of unconditional love that inspires all individuals in our community. Partnering with the Holy Spirit and the community, we are committed to fighting and eradicating social ills that oppress God's children, preventing them from experiencing a fulfilled life.
 

Mission

God calls this church to be a progressive church where individuals realize their power, abilities, and responsibilities to self, community, and God. We are a place that continually seeks to understand God's word and love. As a Christ-centered ministry, we are an active part of the community; locally and abroad. Our work is to be both priestly and prophetic in all things, showing forth the Love of God, as we facilitate change to bring about the Beloved Community. We are called to be "a chosen people" regardless of socio-economical or educational backgrounds. Our congregation is made up of the educated and the uneducated. We are a combination of the haves and the have not's; the economically disadvantaged, the under-class, the unemployed and the employable. Those among us have united in Christian love and fellowship to become agents of change for God.

It’s simple: Be You; Bring You.

Our Preaching Style:

Our sermons are usually preached either by our Pastor & Founder, Rev. Dr. Aaron B. Wade or one of our other gifted ministers or guest speakers. Filled with the Gospel – the life, death & resurrection of Jesus Christ- all sermons include practical lessons that will allow you to apply them to your life & take immediate action through divine inspiration.  Check it out here: http://ccwdc.org/watch-live.html

We believe, “effective stewardship creates effective lives!”

We are a tithing church! Each believer has a responsibility to give back to God at least 10% of what God’s given to us, so that others will have.


We are encouraged to GIVE, as we become a blessing to our Church and Community!! We believe in giving back to God through our borrowed time (volunteer), talent (gifts) & treasure (finances) to the storehouse. The bible teaches us the principles of "reaping and sowing" into fertile ground. We invite you to plant your seeds in this ministry through your giving relationship and trust Him to meet you where you’d like Him to elevate you. Learn more here:  http://ccwdc.org/give.html
