who we are

Our movement is committed to healthy relationships and connection between ministers and churches.

As an international family, our members are able to walk into any of our C3 Churches around the world and know that they’re home.

We are united with Christ in His vision, and therefore our mission: to save the lost, make disciples and build His church.

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Psalm 92:12-15

STORIES The Halvorsen’s Story The first time I went to a C3 Church Sunday service was in 1998 and I was blown away by how friendly and positive the people were and how welcome they made me feel. Now, as a C3 Pastor nearly 20 years later, I love hearing the same feedback from people who visit us!

I love being part of the C3 movement because I love being part of something so much bigger than the part I play. We are a global family of people who share the same faith, hope and love. I’m also really proud to be part of a movement that is taking some serious ground; growing, flourishing, plundering hell, bringing heaven to earth and having a good time doing it!

The Moehr’s Story It has been 14 years since we have joined the C3 movement. In the early days of our church we were struggling to gain momentum and establish strong structure and effective leadership for our church.

Since 2003 we have seen our church grow from 250 people to more than 1,250 today. The movement gave us the spiritual, relational and leadership keys to get out of a ditch and move into our God destiny. Finding C3 was finding a family and a home. The faith filled atmosphere and the sincere love and concern that we find among pastors and leaders are a constant source of encouragement.

We know that we would not be in ministry today without such an environment.

The story of C3 Lausanne speaks about the strength that we find in doing life together and the strength of following godly leaders. We feel so privileged to be a part of this family, our C3 family.

The Mutegheki’s Story I was raised up in an area where most churches were either denominational or the leadership was ‘a one man’s show’. As I begun to grow in ministry, I realized that both setups were not sufficient enough to release me into what God wants me to be. I longed for a more relational church family, in which I would not only be accountable but also be a key player. My search was over when I joined the C3 Global Movement.

As a member of this movement, I’ve had the privilege to walk this journey with giants from all-over the globe with whom we share the same culture, core values and bear the same vision.

Being part of C3 thrusts you into a loving family where you find, true servant leadership, excellent fatherhood and oversight, a vibrant church culture, healthy organic relationships, a solid Biblical foundation and a soul winning culture.

C3 Global is helping me to achieve my dreams in Christ.

The Burgess’ Story I have been a member of C3 for 18 years - the entirety of my Christian life. C3 has been a home for me to grow, to learn and to serve in. My affection for this great movement has only grown as I have. My wife, Dawn, and I now pastor C3 Church South City in New Zealand in addition to overseeing the C3 Pacific Region.

One of the many aspects of our culture that I have great appreciation for is the climate that is created by the convergence of missional zeal and compassion for the poor. We desperately want to reach people with the good news of the Gospel and we don’t mind rolling up our sleeves and getting dirt under our finger nails to do so. I have seen this at work through C3 all over the world In my own backyard, I have seen it in ‘Lovu’ in Fiji.

Many years ago, detoured by a divine curiosity, a local C3 pastor (Ps. Michael Naisau) went into one of the poorer communities in Fiji to investigate it’s state. Taken aback by what he discovered, he determined from that moment to give his life to improving their condition. Since then, C3 churches all over our movement have been involved in much community development in this area- building houses, developing infrastructure, disaster relief, bringing in doctors and nurses and dental nurses, running a multitude of programs and, best of all, establishing a church in and for the community.

One local said this to me- “many have come into Lovu and made promises before leaving - C3 are the ones who came here and stayed”

There are many reasons for which I love C3 and for which I am grateful to be a member of C3 - that quote, and the heart that drove the glad labour that produced it, is most certainly one of them.
