Christ's Commission Fellowship (simply called as CCF) is a non-denominational megachurch founded by Dr. Peter Tan-chi, based in the Philippines. Its main worship center is located at the CCF Center in Frontera Verde, Pasig City, with its membership approaching up to 60,000 people in all outreaches.〔http://www.ccf.org.ph/about-us/the-ccf-story/〕 Its mission is "To Honor God and To make Christ Committed Followers who will make Christ Committed Followers" which is inspired by Matthew 28: 19-20.〔http://www.ccf.org.ph/about-us/the-ccf-story/〕 ==History== In 1982, Pastor Peter Tan-Chi, began an evangelistic home Bible study in Brookside Subdivision, Cainta, Rizal. Only three couples attended that first Bible study, but as they began to invite their friends, who then invited their own friends and families, the Bible study grew and moved to San Juan City. Two years later, A core group of 40 people (businessmen, professionals, and their families) emerged from these Bible studies. Later on, they met at the Asian Institute of Management for their first Sunday worship service and launched "Christ’s Commission Foundation" in August 1984. Since then, CCF’s continuous growth has caused its worship services to move from place to place. From AIM, services moved to Greenbelt in Makati City, then to the Conference Room of the Philippine International Convention Center, and then to the PICC Plenary Hall. Worshippers then split in order to attend at two different venues, one in CCF Sucat, and one at the Valle Verde Country Club. In 1997, CCF's worship services transferred to St. Francis Square in Ortigas Center. Today, it is now thriving church of approximately 60,000 members and considered as one of the fastest-growing Evangelical churches in the country,〔McGrath, Alister E. (2008) Christianity's Dangerous Idea: The Protestant Revolution: A History from the Sixteenth Century to the Twenty-First London: Regnum Books (p 454 to 455)〕 with worship and bible study centers in major cities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, then it has an international outreach, one in Singapore, Sydney, Australia, Auckland, New Zealand and Los Angeles, USA with overall 37 outreaches worldwide. It is a unique fellowship composed of and led by lay men and women, all of whom still share God’s love and the Gospel in the style of the first century Christians, in small groups, in their homes, communities, and workplaces. It is an indigenous church, which operates without foreign affiliation or financial assistance. The vision that the Lord gave to the leaders of CCF is to establish a church patterned after that of the New Testament. The emphasis of CCF is on the active participation and ministry of lay people committed to fulfilling Christ's purpose, and all Christians are called by the Lord to be ministers to make committed followers of Jesus Christ.〔http://www.ccf.org.ph/about-us/the-ccf-story/〕 On August 30, 2009, CCF celebrated its 25th Anniversary and God’s faithfulness, attended with thousands of members from different CCF outreaches nationwide. It was held at Araneta Coliseum (now Smart Araneta Coliseum), Quezon City.〔http://www.ccf.org.ph/ccf-turns-silver/〕 On May 12, 2013, CCF transferred to their new worship and training center, also known as the CCF Center.
