What does the DNA of a radical church look like?
That’s what we want to be: radical for Jesus. We want our worship to be radical. We want our love to be radical. And we want radical desire for the lost and dying to know Jesus personally.
Join us in February for “Revolution: The DNA of a Radical Church,” and discover what a radical church looks like.

Sharing is an admirable and desirable virtue … though it’s one that’s difficult to live out. We tend to focus on our own needs and all we feel we deserve.
But that’s not what God intends for us. When we share, we are most like God. And His blessings for us when we share are abundant.
Join us in January for “Overflow,” and discover the joy found in sharing.

What if your best days are ahead?
When it comes to spirituality in the American church, some people seem to delight in a “doom and gloom” mindset. But what if our best days are ahead of us?
Think back to when you were closest to God. What if you could be that close again?
What if your walk with Christ was close and exciting? What if you heard His still, small voice every day? What if you kept up a running conversation with Jesus all week long? What if you really joined with Jesus on His mission to help the poor and win the lost? What if you really prayed for friends and family members and saw them come to Christ? What if your prayer life was passionate and productive and punctuated with answered prayers? What if reading the Bible was gave you insights and intimacy that really transformed your life.
It would be safe to call that personal “revival.” And what if hundreds – even thousands – of people in NE Ohio had those very same experiences?
Revival is possible. It’s a gracious gift God can sovereignly give to those who seek Him with all their hearts.
Join us as we encourage each other to seek God for revival.

The story of Christ’s birth is one of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.
So what’s happened? America spends an average of $450 billion a year every Christmas. Yet when its over, many of us are left with this empty feeling of missed purpose.
What if Christmas became a world-changing event again, one that included the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked and the sick?
Welcome to Advent Conspiracy 2.0 . . . December at CVC.
Worship Fully. Spend Less. Give More. Love All.

In those quiet moments when we’re most honest with ourselves, it’s easy for us to feel the weight of guilt. We say things like, “You’re a spiritual loser” or “God would never use you” or “You don’t deserve to be blessed.” “Saying guilt” to ourselves becomes common.
So what if we heard God “saying grace” to us? And what if we could start “saying grace” to ourselves? We could start lavishing grace on others in a world that knows far more about unforgiveness than it does of mercy.
Grace is God’s love for the undeserving. We can drop the burden of never measuring up and instead revel in the comfort of a God who loves us for who we are - not for who we think we should be.
God “saying grace” gives life-changing power. It’s free. It’s unrelenting.

As we consider the challenges in our world today and the role that government plays in solving or even creating problems, many people are angry. It seems that the two party system in America leaves us choosing between limited options.
Who stands for Biblical truth when it comes to issues like the poor, the value of life, the environment, and sexuality? When no one speaks up, at times even ourselves, we should be ticked!
In this series, we’ll look at the difficulties faced when it comes to faith and politics. As we sift through the political rhetoric, we’ll seek to understand what God’s Word has to say about several “hot button” issues. Let’s get to the truth behind—or above—it all.
