Position Description

Our Vision

Many people who live today aren't really alive. They may be far from God, they may be unaware of his Spirit, and even those who follow Jesus can still live a life without purpose, passion or true community. This can lead to a life that appears to be successful and self-sufficient, but in reality, is hollow, unfulfilled and spiritually vacant; a life devoid of meaning, plagued with apathy, burnout and can even cause some to miss out on eternity. That's why at CRCF Church we are passionate about proving an authentic community that is rooted in God's word, dependent on the Holy Spirit, and that ministers to the whole person; providing healing, hope and purpose for you and your entire family. Because at CRCF Church, we believe everyone can become fully alive in Christ.
