Our Model
Our Purpose
The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to a lost world.
Our Mission
The mission of Dunnville Christian Church is to connect people to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and each other. We believe the best way to accomplish this is by being a movement of Christ followers who have come together to create environments and experiences where real people connect intimately to God, find community with each other, and develop influence with the world.
Our Strategy
We want to make your path to spiritual maturity (discipleship) as simple as possible. We believe that discipleship happens best in the context of meaningful relationships and we believe Jesus made this idea clear in the way that he invested his time with his small group of disciples. In light of this we believe that the best way to form meaningful relationships at DCC is in the form of small groups. Getting to that point is the challenge and the drive behind our strategy which is illustrated below.

We want to welcome all visitors as our guests but we don't want you to remain there. We believe it is important to connect with others around you so we have developed a program that helps our guests get more acquainted with the church and provides more information on how to connect and begin building friendships. While friendship is great, we want you to experience more than just a connection, we want you to experience community with the family of DCC. Keep in mind this is a process of steps, each step leaders to greater involvement and greater relational growth both physically and spiritually.

Our Core Values
Biblical Authority We Believe God has spoken to us through the Scriptures. Therefore, the Bible is our ultimate authority.
Intimacy with God We believe God desires an intimate relationship with every believer. Through prayer, meditation, worship, and Bible study, we can pursue and achieve intimacy with the Father.
Relevant Environments We believe our role is to create environments that are conducive to the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of people. A relevant environment combined with competent leadership will allow us to connect with our audience.
Relational Evangelism We believe that all believers have the responsibility of carrying out the great commission in their sphere of influence.
Authentic Community We believe accountability, care, and a sense of belonging are critical to balance and progress in our spiritual journey. These three things are best achieved within the context of a small group of like-minded, relationally-connected believers.
Strategic Service As gifted members of the body of Christ, each believer is responsible for exercising his or her gifts in tandem with other members of the body. It is not enough to exercise spiritual gifts. Maximum impact is contingent upon a coordinated, strategic exercise of gifts in the body.
Intentional Apprenticing We believe that every believer is responsible for passing along to others the knowledge, skills, and opportunities for service that God, through others entrusted to them.
