Bishop Raymond Rivera's vision for establishing the Council of Holistic Christian Churches and Ministries was to create a unique venue where practitioners of Christ-centered holistic, justice ministries unite their efforts to articulate a vision relevant to today's church and society.

In addition, the Council exists to develop praxis that will express itself by providing our local communities with continual ministries that will reject the historical dichotomies that have been perpetual by the institutional church between the sacred and the secular, the private and the public dimensions of our faith.

These ministries will be the continuation of the incarnation in our communities.
