What does Chapter Three Ministries do?
C3M exists to share the hope of the Gospel and train disciples of Jesus Christ by serving communities, charities, events and congregations through mission support, worship leadership, musical performances, Biblical teaching and resource development.

Ministry Objectives
1. Evangelism - The primary objective of Chapter Three Ministries is to share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  All team members are prepared to explain the relevance of the Gospel in their own lives and encourage others toward a life-changing relationship with Jesus as Savior.

2. Prayer support - C3M provides prayer support for the communities and people we serve.  We believe our prayers help.

3. Music - We desire to participate in events that reach out with hope, love and truth.  C3M strives to make our artists, teachers and resources available to any like-minded charitable or community event which requests our participation.

4. Teaching - C3M is called to equip others by providing instruction and sharing resources.  Such instruction can include holding classes, retreats and seminars on topics ranging from conflict resolution to musical theory as well as studies into the relevance and application of Holy Scripture.

5. Missions - C3M strives to fully participate in at least one traveling mission event each year.  Our desire is to contribute our volunteers, equipment and resources regularly to ongoing mission efforts.

What does Chapter Three Ministries believe?
We believe that there is one God; YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. 

We accept Yeshua Ben Yosef  (Jesus son of Jospeh) as God’s Son, the King of all creation and Savior of humanity. We believe that Christ came to earth to proclaim a real and present access to the Kingdom of God and offer all humans an authentic relationship with God both now and forever.

We realize that the natural state of humanity is selfishness and that only the sacrificial power of Christ’s crucifixion and triumphant power of his resurrection creates a bridge between a selfish and unholy people to a selfless and holy God.

We accept that God offers the real presence and power of the Holy Spirit in our world as an essential catalyst for the salvation and sanctification of all people. It is this presence that enables disciples to live an obedient life.

We believe that the Bible is Divinely inspired, truthful, authoritative and applicable to every life.  Our experiences have taught us that God can and will meet, teach and love us through the Scriptures when we choose to engage them.

We believe that God calls us to unity with other disciples and that the Church should exist as a community of people sharing their lives in an effort to help each other and grow toward God by growing together.

We acknowledge that all people matter to God and that it is impossible to live as a disciple without loving other people.

While the above statements might not cover every detail of our continuously growing and changing faith, they nevertheless truthfully represent how we have been called to serve and live. If you have questions, please contact us.  We greatly value the opportunity to examine and question our understanding of faith.
