Carolina Forest Community Church Mobile Application Review

Overview

Carolina Forest Community Church (CFCC) originated from a vision that inspired a group of believers from Pawley's Island Baptist Church. Their journey commenced in February 1997, when this community began to congregate, pray, and prepare for the establishment of a church dedicated to serving the Carolina Forest area. The inaugural worship service took place on September 7, 1997, at Carolina Forest Elementary School, attracting over 300 attendees.

By March 2000, CFCC transitioned to a multi-purpose facility situated on a 25-acre site in the heart of Carolina Forest, reinforcing its commitment to outreach and engagement with individuals who had not previously connected with a church community.

CFCC embodies a ministry approach inspired by Jesus’ teachings, promoting an inclusive "come as you are" philosophy that resonates deeply within the local community. The congregation is diverse, encompassing individuals at various stages of spiritual growth.

Community Engagement

The church is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging for all congregants. Integral avenues for connection include participation in weekly services, involvement in biblical community groups, membership opportunities, and service initiatives. Individuals are encouraged to explore one of these pathways to deepen their relationship with the church.

• Biblical Community: CFCC emphasizes the importance of shared experiences among members as they collectively pursue spiritual growth. Various community groups are available, including:
  • Starting Point
  • Home Groups
  • Bible Studies
  • Financial Peace University
• Serving Opportunities: All visitors and members are invited to serve within the church community. Engaging in service fosters connections and camaraderie among members, whether through ministry teams at weekend services, administrative support during weekdays, or participation in short-term mission efforts. Opportunities are available through the church's volunteer ministry.
• Membership: Membership signifies a commitment to CFCC and its mission. Members recognize and support the church's initiatives, forming a spiritual family geared towards mutual encouragement and growth in faith. To initiate membership, prospective members are invited to attend the Discovery Class held every other month.

A member is considered "fully connected" when actively attending weekend services, participating in biblical community gatherings, and serving both within and outside the church.

The Connection Center serves as a resource for individuals seeking additional information about various engagement opportunities. Located at the rear of the auditorium, it is accessible after each worship service for those wishing to take their next steps in connection with CFCC.
