cp11 Vision and Mission Statement

cp11 is an English-speaking congregation of West Sydney Chinese Christian Church (WSCCC). It was established in the Croydon Park area in 2005. We operate within the wider vision of WSCCC:

‘To be a people of God, growing in Christ, reaching out with the gospel until He returns’

cp11 Vision

To see people from all backgrounds come to know Jesus, be established in church and grow in faith:

  • within the region of Croydon Park
  • amongst our network of existing relationships across Sydney
  • and across the globe

– to the glory of God alone.

i.e. We are not seeking to simply be a Chinese congregation, but to make the next step toward the wider cultural mix of Croydon Park, Sydney and the rest of the world.

cp11 Mission

To be a biblical church in Croydon Park for all people

Can be summarised in the slogan: a church in croydon park for all people

cp11 distinctives

  1. Proclamation of the gospel: God calls people into His Church through the gospel of Jesus. Therefore, we aim to proclaim this gospel clearly, both individually and corporately. We are a church always on mission.
  2. Promotion of the gospel: We seek not only to declare the gospel of Jesus, but adorn this teaching with godly living by the power of the Holy Spirit. Integral to this is meaningful and loving fellowship with each other and faithful prayer.
  3. Teaching the Bible: The gospel of Jesus is known through the Bible. This gospel not only saves but sanctifies the believer. Therefore we seek to read and teach the Scriptures faithfully.
  4. Having small and large groups: As well as our Sunday services we strongly encourage involvement in a mid-week Bible study group. Our small groups are welcoming communities for teaching, prayer, evangelism and pastoral care.
  5. Open to all cultures: Whilst acknowledging our predominantly Asian-Australian cultural heritage, we seek to be a multicultural church, reaching people from the local community as well as our friends from any background.
  6. Passionate about World Missions: Just as God’s heart is for all peoples of the world to be saved, we also seek to reflect His passion by promoting and supporting global Missions in all we do.
  7. Training and sending gospel workers: We seek to develop all people for service. We help all our people find and develop their God-given gifts within the church. We actively train and send workers for both local and global gospel ministry.

What we believe

We are an evangelical church committed to proclaiming Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible. His gospel – good news – is that he died, as the Son of God, for the sins of all people! Please join us at church to find out more about Christianity!

Our church believes in:

  1. The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Corinthians 12:4–6, Ephesians 4:4–6)
  2. The sovereignty of God in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment (Acts 17:24, John 14:26, Romans 5:6–11, 2 Corinthians 5:10)
  3. The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture, as originally given, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16–17)
  4. The universal sinfulness and guilt of human nature since the fall, rendering man subject to God’s wrath and condemnation (Romans 3:23, 1:18, 5:12–13)
  5. Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death (as our Representative and Substitute) of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary (Matthew 26:28, John 1:14, Matthew 1:18–22)
  6. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and subsequently the resurrection of all believers to eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:3–4, 20–22)
  7. The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective to the individual sinner, granting him repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ (John 16:8, Titus 3:5–7)
  8. The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer (John 14:17, 1 Corinthians 6:19)
  9. The one holy universal Church, which is the Body of Christ, and to which all true believers belong (1 Corinthians 10:16–17, 12:12–13, Ephesians 4:11–13)
  10. The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11)
