Welcome!

The Corpus Christi District has  45 churches and a membership of 13,000+.

We are one of seven districts in the Southwest Texas Conference, which covers a vast 72 counties.

The other six districts are: Austin, Kerrville, McAllen, San Angelo, San Antonio and Victoria.

OUR VISION is to provide relevant, forward-looking, quality training for laity and clergy and to provide resources and support necessary to anticipate and implement a variety of ministries designed to advance the kingdom of God.

OUR MISSION is to equip laity, clergy and local churches for vital discipleship ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE ...

~ all baptized Christians are called to ministries that build up the Body of Christ and advance the reign of God's love and justice.

~ in the participation of all baptized Christians in the discernment of and living out of God's will for ministry.

~ in the essential unity of all Christians as the Body of Christ, which reaches beyond the bounds of a local church or our particular faith community.

~ in establishing new communities of faith and risking in outreach to advance the kingdom of God.

~ our faithfulness is measured by conformity to God's will for our shared ministries.

~ excellence honors God and inspires people.

~ effective ministry is recognized by the fruit it bears.
