Am I required to serve in ministries if I’m part of a Dgroup?

CCF does not require anyone to serve in any ministry; one of our core values as a church is to “Volunteer”, to serve God alongside your family by serving others in His church, and outside the church. Serving in ministries is done in this spirit of volunteering your God-given time, talents and treasure, following the example of Jesus who came to serve and not to be served.

What does it mean to be “accountable” and how do we do accountability sessions in the Dgroup?

In CCF, to be accountable is to voluntarily and humbly allow others that we trust around us to check on our progress in our spiritual development in Christlikeness and how we are fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives as Christ-committed followers.

Accountability time is incorporated into Dgroup meetings, using guide questions prepared and used by CCF leadership in their own Dgroups—from our senior pastor to the newest Dgroup leader (place link here for the Dgroup Accountability Questions). One-on-one times may also be set for same-gender accountability as needed (men to men, women to women). Accountability times are not rigid, question-and-answer times; instead, we follow Jesus’ model with His disciples where He regularly encouraged, challenged, asked, rebuked and empowered them at different settings, so that they may be found worthy servants of God, filled with the Spirit at all times.
