The mission of the Alabama Diocese and the Refuge COOLJC is congruent with that of the International Church of our Lord Jesus Christ which is "To evangelize the world for our Lord Jesus Christ; to equip believers to become true Disciples of Christ, and to engage those social problems that challenge the communities we are called to serve".

The vision of the Diocese and local church is "to specifically target and tailor our evangelistic efforts toward the state of Alabama with the goal of presenting Christ to each county in the state and ultimately to establish COOLJCS in each of these areas".
