Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church seeks to exalt Christ through worship, build community through inward love, and carry out their mission of humble service. Their vision is to use worship services to bring believers together, community groups to develop relationships and invite unbelievers in, and outreach ministries to serve the community and share the gospel. They focus only on programs and events that directly support this vision and process of reaching and discipling people for Christ.
5. Through his perfect life and atoning death, Jesus earned salvation and paid for the sins of all those who have been chosen by God before the foundation of the world.
6. Our focus on Jesus Christ is our attempt to model our church and our lives according to the Bible.
15. We worship God in our calling.{Redemption produces worship.} Christ Worship

17. The same Gospel that moves us to worship also binds us together in profound community. God’s adoption of His people makes him our father, and other Christians our brothers and sisters.
18. Just as sin broke our relationship with God, others, and all creation, so the Gospel brings reconciliation between God, each other, and all of creation.
19. We seek to be a community that is gospel-motivated, forgiving, and self-sacrificial, and that builds solidarity and shares our spiritual gifts.
20. We build and support community through community groups, Christian education, fellowship, accountability, and conflict resolution.{The Gospel is the cohesion of Christian community.} Christ Worship Community
23. We want to provide tangible service to those around us.
24. Our goal is to love and learn Culpeper and to be a group of humble servants, because we are privileged to share the gospel with all who will listen.
25. Furthermore, we want to be a church-planting church.{Jesus’s service and love toward us lead us to be evangelistic servant-disciples, engaging our culture through service ministry.} Christ Worship Community Mission
26. Our vision is also our plan for outreach to people who are not Christian….
27. We will reach out to non-believers by serving them, and establish relationship through mission… They will be invited into our community through events and community groups… Once they are involved in our community and comfortable we will invite them to worship with us… …Where they will hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and (we pray!) come to know Him.
