MISSION, VALUES & BELIEFS
OUR MISSION
At Chuluota Community Church, our mission is to extend the love and compassion of Jesus Christ to all, with a special focus on those in need. We believe that faith is not just something we hold in our hearts, but something we live out in service to others. Together, we walk in faith, serve with love, and share the message of grace—because His light is for all, and His love never fails.
