About Christ Central Church of Cocoa
-
We are Christ Central Church of Cocoa. Our aim is to be Jesus in our community, in our world, in our culture and in our time. We are not trying to be a church of the first century, tenth century or nineteenth century. We are not trying to be like the church in the 1950's, 60's, 70's or 80's. We are striving to be the church that God wants us to be right now, today and tomorrow. Since we are a part of the body of Jesus Christ, our all-sufficient example is Jesus Christ Himself. He lived the life that we seek to imitate. Our goal is to be the very expression of the person of Jesus in our generation.

In the context of being biblical, we believe that there are certain matters of truth revealed in the Bible that are absolute. We believe that those things are clearly taught and have the power of a "thus says the Lord" behind them.
But we also believe that the Bible allows for differences in many areas. Not everyone comes to the same conclusion about everything in the Bible. Our mission is not to condemn or criticize others but to invite everyone to join us on a journey that leads to transformation.
In these matters we seek to follow the New Testament principle paraphrased by the fathers of the American Restoration Movement:
In matters of faith: unity
In matters of opinion: liberty
In all things: love
We do believe that there are certain areas of the work and ministry that are absolutely fundamental to being a follower of Jesus.
1. Worship/Praise
2. Education/Edification
3. Fellowship/Intimacy
4. Outreach/Service
We are not interested at all in just "keeping house." We have no desire to "play church." It is our mission, our calling and our passion as a church to exalt Jesus as Lord and we invite you to join us.
