Cordova Mission Statement

Our Purpose:

We exist to proclaim a real hope to real people facing life in the real world. This is an optimistic, empowering and liberating message that people long to hear. Jesus Christ is the hope we proclaim.

Our Mission:

We are called by God to be His people and His church. We have been blessed by God that, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we may be a blessing for others. We strive to continue a tradition of being welcoming, encouraging, open, caring and down to earth. We build upon a legacy of dedication, hope, joy and service to Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that people will experience extraordinary living through the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Our hope is to daily share the passion, joy, peace and acceptance of God's love and grace.
