WHAT IS THE GCN?
CCWM's Global Church Network is a relational network seeking to build bridges of communication; between churches which otherwise may be isolated and without local connections, or lacking in biblical knowledge, spiritual guidance and oversight.
It is our vision to see churches in unison across villages, towns, cities and countries; working together for the good of their communities and God's glory.
Current Word of Encouragement to our Global Church Network around the world.
From Rev. Stephen Hills (Five-Fold Prophet) 16/01/2010
"The time of captivity is ending, the time of release is eminent. The breaking and shattering of binds, chains and blindfolds is underway. It is true to expect release, to embrace freedom of the spirit and mind. For these are held in prison by ourselves; through our own limitations on God and our own desires of self; that is birthed in the carnal man and not the desires of the Holy Spirit. Break out of the limitations - the walls, chains, beliefs, mindsets and poison of the enemy. Release cannot happen unless we choose the path of freedom in the Spirit. This will require determination to leave in the past; everything not of the Spirit of Jesus. Cast off and leave behind, don't look back, for it is "rubbish" that you can loose. Don't grieve the loss but seek the new. "Know me says the Lord; for I am your source of life; your source of every need. You will lack nothing, you will lack nothing, I am for you."
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe in…
1. The One, living God eternally existing in three persons in complete unity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
2. The
virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, triumphant resurrection,
ascension and faithful intercession of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. His second coming and eternal reign. Justification and
sanctification of believers through the completed work of Jesus Christ.
3. The
crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the purpose of
bringing eternal freedom and life to those who make a faith decision to
believe in him. This because of the inherent corruptness of humanity
through the fall, which requires divine atonement. Through Jesus
Christ, the prevenient grace of God makes it possible for all to
believe, to be forgiven of sin and be saved.
4. The divine inspiration and authority of Holy Scripture.
5. The sacraments of; Baptism by immersion and of Communion.
6. The
believer’s baptism of the Holy Spirit that results in spiritual gifts
with signs following, for the use of the church and growth of Christ’s
kingdom.
7. Church government,
ministry and administration by apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors
and teachers. With elders to be appointed and approved of at the
appropriate times by those with the five fold ministry anointing.
8. The heart principle of giving and bringing offerings to the Lord.
9. An
Egalitarian view which holds that men and women were created equal with
differences and that either may be gifted through Gods grace to any
position in Church leadership or ministry. That all believers are
called to fulfil the great commission according to Mathew 28: 18-20.
10.
The return of Jesus Christ, the bodily resurrection of the dead – of a
final judgment of the saved to eternal blessedness, and the lost to
everlasting separation from God in Hell.
GCN ACCOUNTABILITY & STRUCTURE
ROLES AND DEFINITIONS
CCWM recognizes that the role of The Global Church Director is held by an Apostle that works within a team of other five- fold ministers also known as Assistant Directors.
These people are recognized by the board of CCWM as displaying the fruit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit being called by Jesus Christ to these roles.
Within the CCWM Global Church Network all Overseeing Five- fold minister’s roles are known as Field Director as they govern within a macro geographical region.
Within the CCWM Global Church Network all Regional five-fold Ministers are known as Regional Coordinators as they govern within their region(s).
We believe that Christian leadership should be team based using the five-fold biblical model.
We believe that apostles and prophets should work together to build the foundation of Christ’s church, with Him as head and cornerstone. We believe God will raise up people from each five-fold ministry area to work together and have spiritual authority within both
Macro and single regions to build Gods Kingdom.
