About - C3 Church Naples FL

About Us

C3 is a Non-Denominational Christian Church in Naples Florida. Whether you've never been to church before, or you are a lifelong believer in Jesus Christ, we invite you to come as you are for an authentic experience at real church for real people!
It is not our goal to become a mega church - instead, it is our goal to know and love our local community and serve it together as a church family. We believe in quality over quantity, which means that our church takes the time to get to know each individual - and that includes our pastor. We operate as a family in Christ, fostering a culture of transparency and trust - and as such, we aren’t plagued with the same problems that are prevalent in big churches today. So if you’re interested in being a part of what a Biblical church should be, but you still like some of the elements of a modern worship service, welcome home!

If you have any questions for us, please feel free to contact us - and if you’d like to meet with our pastor, he’d love to get to know you.

Our Weekly Services

Sundays 10am

We believe in following the biblical model for the church as we see it in the book of Acts where they devoted themselves to the teaching of the Word, fellowship, sharing in meals, and to prayer (Acts 2:42).

You can expect to hear biblically rich teaching at C3 Church, then after our 10am service on Sundays, we break bread together as a church family in our Café.

Service is held in our worship center where the music is led by a variety of gifted singers who lead us in modern songs.

Child Care & Children's Church for 3rd grade and under is provided during our 10am service.

What We Believe

View Full Doctrinal Statement

God

We believe there is only one living and true God, perfect, infinite and eternal.  We believe that God exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus

We Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. We believe Jesus to be the 2nd person of the triune God, making Him God.  Through Jesus, God has provided a bridge between God and His creation.  We believe Jesus died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world.  Jesus rose from the dead and then returned to heaven. Jesus promises His followers that they too will rise from the dead to eternal life. 

Holy Spirit

 The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit instructs, comforts, guides, sanctifies, and empowers all those who are the children of God.  We believe that the Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of triune God, making Him God. 

The Bible

 We believe that God has shared His Purpose and Plan for the world through the Bible.  The Bible is the perfect rule and final authority in all matters pertaining to the Christians Faith.  We believe that the Bible is the authentic Word of God. 

The Church

We believe that God established the Church and its mission is to share the Good News with all people.  The Church is to worship God and to promote God’s love, joy and peace. Church is an essential part of Christianity - the Biblical definition of Church is to assemble as the Body of Christ

Ministry

 We believe that all Christians are called to discover their Spiritual Gifts and to serve in active ministry within and out of the local Church.

Missions

Missions is defined as, "an organized effort for the propagation of the Christian faith". First and foremost, the Church is a mission organization which spreads the Gospel locally and sends and supports missionaries who are trained and equipped to spread the Gospel where it has not yet been heard - it is the function of the Church to do so at the Lord's leading through biblically appointed leaders.

In addition to our own missionaries, we do support some organizations utilizing the criteria for selection found here.

Our Commitment

At C3, We are committed to a clear and accurate communication of God’s word.  We are committed to prayer.  We believe that lost people matter to God.  We emphasize God’s unconditional love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.  We are committed to help people grow spiritually.  Value the importance of healthy relationships among the followers of Jesus Christ. We strive to adapt our ministry to be culturally relevant while remaining committed to the core beliefs of what Scripture teaches.

C3 Church History

C3 Church Naples was founded in the early 1980's as "Community Congregational Church" and originally located in North Naples. During the '80's, the church had grown to a considerable size, but did little to disciple young people or adhere to a biblical model and as a result, began declining. Fortunately, God had a plan and sent all the right people to put it in place. These leaders implemented biblical programs and principles in the church, and we began to see positive growth. We changed our name to "Christ Centered Church" in order to reflect the idea that we are now a church driven by and centered in Christ, rather than the ideas and motives of men - Christ is the head of the church, who drives us the body, not the other way around.

Leadership Structure

We adhere to a biblical leadership structure, while using terminology that people in our modern culture can understand. Our Lead Pastor functions as an Elder did in the New Testament, doing the work of discipleship and teaching. Our Lead Pastor is supported by members who function as elders, deacons and ministry workers who make up the Body of Christ. We also have an oversight and advisory board for further accountability that deals with all financial matters and the administration of the church.
