CELEBRATION planned for Sunday!! We finish our month of BASECAMP with the Katinas helping us celebrate. They will be leading worship in all services and sharing some of their awesome music with us. The week’s study is all about LOVE: receiving it and giving it away to others.
BASECAMP is a four week study that will now be the entry point for everyone coming to our church. It covers our HISTORY and VISION, our commitment to TRUTH (know it), GROWTH (pursue it), and LOVE (give it). We will all have a common understanding that will help us stay unified and focused on our spiritual journey. Once completing BASECAMP, if you would like any assistance in how to get involved at Capital or discover what is available to you for continued growth, simply fill out the WHAT’S NEXT? form that will available at the information counters. We will then provide a personal meeting with one of our leaders to assist you in where to go from here. Membership can also be pursued if desired. The leader you meet with can answer any membership questions you might have.
The month of March we will be studying the ARMOR PROJECT. It is critical that we are equipped today to deal with the challenges we are facing in the world. God gives us what we need to thrive and succeed. I am looking forward to a great month of growth with you.
Isaiah 54:10 “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.”

BASECAMP: Growth
Week three of BASECAMP is coming on Sunday. We will be looking at some of the disciplines that help us GROW in our spiritual journey. It is quite exciting to discover the joy and fulfillment that comes with making steady progress in our relationship with Jesus and with our family and friends.
We must refuse to be defined by our past. As we take responsibility for our actions and turn to God for help, we find forgiveness, restoration, and a new picture of what our future holds. We will not quit in our pursuit of growth.
Ephesians 4:14-16
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

It would also be possible to open up another tab on your computer and follow along in our magazine. There are graphics and copy that will help to make everything clear as you listen. The message content begins on page 8 in the magazine which can be located at: http://ccconline.cc/c5mag/index.htm.
This week we will study the commitment we have to TRUTH and how we can know the truth. The study will encompass the truth about the Bible, salvation, water baptism, communion, and the Holy Spirit. This would be a great week to invite a friend to join you. The truth will be presented in a very compelling manor.
Don’t forget to express your love to the important people in your life. Valentine’s Day is a wonderful reminder that expressing our love is an important virtue. Let’s strive to show the fruits of love all year long.
I am also pleased to inform you that the final Sunday of this month will bring the Katina’s our way. They are going to provide a special feature to the concluding week of BASECAMP. Lot’s of exciting things going on these days. Don’t miss it!

Basecamp
Labels: Basecamp, bible study, Capital Christian Center, growth, Love, prayer meeting, Rick Cole, Sacramento church, truth
An exciting month is before us! We are concluding a week of fasting and prayer with a prayer meeting on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. It would be great if you could join us for prayer. Then, Sunday begins a series of four weeks called “BASECAMP”. Last year I received clear direction from the Lord in refining our vision for our church family and clarifying the process for how those new to our church can become a part of our family and grow to spiritual maturity. BASECAMP will be the entry point for everyone so I wanted to expose our entire church to this teaching. This will be done in the four Sunday’s of February. This week we begin with an interesting view of our 94 year history and provide an introduction to the vision. Here is the vision simply stated: A commitment to TRUTH (know it), GROWTH (pursue it), and LOVE (give it) leads to a healthy life. You are going to receive a lot of information in these four weeks that you will want to hang on to as the foundation for becoming all God has designed you to be. I can’t wait to share it with you.
Wednesday nights provide another opportunity for growth. The Men’s and Women’s Bible Studies are gaining momentum and we would love to have you there if it works in your schedule. There is a place for every member of the family with great children’s and youth meetings at the same time.
Looking forward to growing with you this month.
