Theology/doctrine
As its name suggests, the CCCC espouses theological conservatism and claims to be adamantly Bible-centered. It opposes homosexuality, the right to an abortion, and non-marital sexual activity. The CCCC believes itself to hold fast to orthodox Protestant Christian faith and inerrancy is a guiding principle in Biblical interpretation carried out by ministers and teachers. Some ministers have sought to revive an interest in the study and teachings of Puritanism; however, both Reformed and Arminian emphases may be found in the CCCC, as is usually the case with larger, more broadly-based evangelical groups.

Famous quotes containing the words theology and/or doctrine:
“A theology whose god is a metaphor is wasting its time.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The doctrine of those who have denied that certainty could be attained at all, has some agreement with my way of proceeding at the first setting out; but they end in being infinitely separated and opposed. For the holders of that doctrine assert simply that nothing can be known; I also assert that not much can be known in nature by the way which is now in use. But then they go on to destroy the authority of the senses and understanding; whereas I proceed to devise helps for the same.”
—Francis Bacon (1560–1626)
