Explanations
Name of the denomination
Christelijk Centrum Groningen, also known as the Christian Church Groningen (hereinafter: CCG), is a faith community where Jesus is central. Jesus claimed to be God, which is why he was killed. At CCG, we take Jesus at his word. That he is God and has conquered death. That's why everything revolves around him. We invite you to get to know this Jesus. He wants to forgive you and give you new life in him.
While this church is fully independent, it is affiliated with the international family of churches Relational Mission, part of New Frontiers.

Board and Staff/Volunteers
The church's governance is vested in the elder board. The statutes stipulate that all elders are also board members. The leading elder is also the chair of the board. In addition, the treasurer and secretary are formally designated, and the other elders are general board members.
The board also manages financial resources and property. In practice, it is assisted by various teams that, however, have no formal authority: these are all vested in the elder board. The articles of association stipulate that an audit committee (not consisting of board members) takes a random sample of the financial records each year to assess their accuracy. Based on this sample, they propose or reject the treasurer's discharge after the end of the relevant financial year. The board makes the final decision in accordance with the above. The conclusion is retained in the financial administration.
One full-time employee (32 hours) and one part-time employee (16 hours) are involved in the Church. They both receive a gross contribution but are not formally employed. In addition, approximately 160 members are regularly engaged in activities related to the Church's objectives.
Objective/Vision
This is stated in the articles of association as follows:
The church aims to bring people to Jesus and His Family, in obedience to God's infallible word: "the Bible," through the power of the Holy Spirit, where they will attain spiritual maturity and learn to magnify His Name. Where they are also equipped to serve and proclaim His Kingdom in the world.
Policy Plan
Our policy plan consists of several dynamic components, with the following main structure:
6.1 Restoration of a Biblical Church.
This means laying a solid, biblically based foundation upon which the church is built and exercising the "fivefold ministry" from Ephesians 4.
Restoring the place of worship in the church; just as the temple was the place of worship in the Old Covenant, it is now occupied by the church (John 4:23-24).
A safe place for believers and (brought along) unbelievers, where the Word of God is preached and prayers are offered for healing from spiritual, emotional, and physical ailments. A place where believers can express their joy in and love for the Lord. And a place where people can develop a relationship with God and with each other.
6.2 Making Disciples. Through evangelism, friendships, and relief of need, we connect people with Jesus and make them His disciples. This is more than just being saved. It also entails education for maturity, discovering and nurturing gifts and talents, and a Body in which all members function and care for one another (1 Cor. 12:25).
6.3 Training Leaders.
Actively working to train church members, young and old, as leaders. This means education focused on caring for one another, evangelism, leading departments, missional communities, and church planting. In a well-functioning
