The teaching and writing ministry of Mark Dever has had a tremendous impact on our pastor. Our pastor’s heart resonates with the focus of Dr. Dever’s ecclesiology expressed in Nine Marks of a Healthy Church.  This website is a resource that is committed to the glory of Christ in the local church.       www.9marks.org

We cannot overstate the influence of John Piper’s teaching and writing ministry on our pastoral staff and consequently our Church Family.  For the last ten years our hearts have been moved by his ministry.  Piper’s books Future Grace; Let the Nations Be Glad!; A Godward Life Book One and Two; Desiring God; The Pleasures of God, and others have been a great challenge to us in our walk with Christ. The Desiring God website has many resources, not the least of which, is over twenty years of John Piper’s preaching which is accessible in manuscript form, as well as audio.              www.desiringgod.org

We commend to you the teaching and writing ministry of Jim Eliff.  We appreciate Jim’s focus on the holiness of God and the call to holiness given to the Body of Christ.  We are looking forward to Jim coming this fall for our Men’s Retreat.  He has many helpful resources available on this website.          www.ccwonline.org
