ABOUT US

What we believe. Who we are.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

1. In one God, who is eternal, all-powerful and absolutely Holy, who has revealed Himself to man as existing in three distinguishable expressions: the Father, the Son – Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

FIVE CORE FREEDOMS

From the very beginning, our Free Methodist denomination has been championing the word: freedom.

There are five essential freedoms that define us, and are born out of our commitment to equality and our belief in the freedom that Christ gives to all. We call this a theology of love…

DOCTRINE / THEOLOGY

The doctrine or theology of the Free Methodist Church is often referred to as “via media” or the middle way.

What we believe, therefore, is not easily classified as theologically “conservative” or “liberal” but instead seeks to honor four main sources of theology (also called the Wesleyan Quadrilateral)…

OUR STORY

The local church is God’s plan for family and community, and Cucamonga Christian Fellowship (CCF) is a multi-generational, multi-cultural church for all ages and stages of life.

CCF began in August 1983, with 9 adults and 3 children meeting together in a living room in Rancho Cucamonga. In the 40 years since that day, CCF has consistently grown and been a place from which many church plants were birthed, missionaries sent out, and projects created with the intent of ministering to the poor and needy of our community.

God created the church to be His witness of love to the world and in addition to being a place for people to connect, at CCF we are committed to social justice both locally and globally.

For many years, the vision of CCF was to be “a place to connect,” and our leadership positioned CCF as a church that is known for making a difference in our city, our community and our world.

Today, we have a new mission and vision – to love God, love people and make disciples. We exist with the desire to glorify God and expand His Kingdom by being worshippers and witnesses of Christ Jesus who influence the world to experience transformation through our expression of the Gospel.

Locally, we host a weekly free-food program for the community. Throughout the year, we look for ways to partner with our local community to bring practical hope to people. Globally, we invest in partnerships with organizations who are making a difference around the world. Most importantly though, we are intentional in every connection to be sharing the good news of who Jesus is, why He came, and how His freedom is for everyone.

Our deepest desire is that that you will not only find a place to connect at CCF, but your experience will inspire you to help others to do the same.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR VISION

Free Methodists are first and foremost a Kingdom people. Yet throughout church history God has raised up distinct movements like ours to enrich the larger body of Christ.

Building on the legacies of John Wesley and B.T. Roberts, but always discerning where God is moving today, our identity is shaped by values that are both historical and aspirational.

Of the many values we hold dear, these five lie at the heart of our movement. We view them as a whole, each one bringing necessary balance to the others.

  • Life-Giving Holiness
  • Love-Driven Justice
  • Christ-Compelled Multiplication
  • Cross-Cultural Collaboration
  • God-Given Revelation

We call this The Free Methodist Way.
