What is Community Life at 4C’s?
Our hope at 4Cs is to build an environment where Christians of all stages can enter into transformational discipleship.
What is transformational discipleship?
For us it means that we want to see our community live with dedication to growing deeper in the calling of Christ, deeper into His community, and further in His Kingdom mission. Our faith journey is a lifelong process of learning to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as much as ourselves.
We never “graduate” from the school of Christian living. As we learn to apply and obey Christ’s teachings, our life will increasingly reflect our commitment to Christ. In other words, transformational discipleship is the result of a lifelong process. A real, radical change expressed in both our individual and our community life.
To support Christian growth in individuals and within the church, we believe that there are four essential elements that foster the transforming work of the Spirit:
-
God’s Word – Shaping our Actions and our lives
-
Relationships – Community nurturing and encouraging our growth
-
Obedient Living – Abiding in Christ as we hear his call to witness for his name
-
Worship – Interacting with and experiencing the presence of God

Community Life Groups
At 4C’s, we believe it is of the utmost importance that each of us has a place to be known and to know others. No matter how long you have been in our community, if you are looking for a point of connection where you can grow personally and spiritually, consider joining a Community Life Group (CLG) this season.
For more information or questions, please contact our Community Group Director, Rick Gilmore at Rick.Gilmore(a)4Cs.Church.

Permanent Bible Studies and Prayer Opportunities
PRAYER MINISTRIES
Prayer Opportunities – If you have prayer needs and would like an elder to pray with you privately, members of 4C’s Council of Elders will be up front near the stage after each service to pray with you on an as-needed basis. We welcome and encourage your participation in taking our needs to the Father. Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Also, a prayer team meets in the prayer and counseling room, just inside the south entrance between services (from 10:10-10:25) on Sunday mornings, led by Robin Millett.
Pray 396 — Every Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the Worship Center. All are welcome and encouraged to join us.
Prayer Shawls — We invite you to take the time to check out the prayer shawls located in the Family Room by the north entry. If you or someone you know would benefit from having a prayer shawl for encourgement, please take one. We ask that you fill out one of the cards in the black box on the wall which allows us to keep track of and pray for those who have received the shawls. Thanks to everyone who has created these beautiful expressions of God’s covering in difficutl times.
