But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church; but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man a publican.”

10. Prioritize pertinent meetings relative to their involvement in ‘CCC’.
11. Members who choose to leave this coalition should commit to the following process.
    • (a) Personally communicate to the leadership of ‘CCC’ before making it official.
    • (b) If applicable – walk in the biblical principles that were laid out in point 4 before making a final decision.
    • (c) Above all, keeping the biblical mandate spoken of in Ephesians 4:2-4, “With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.”

    This includes not maligning or willfully trying to hurt or tear down this coalition or the members thereof. We are first and foremost Christians who put first the Kingdom of God and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
