REACHING OUT


If you have been to CCC recently you have seen a new look in the atrium.  The Center has become a focal point and our mission motto can’t be missed.  It is written in big cursive letters on the wall.

The short motto of CCC’s mission is, “Love God, Love People”.  We believe that the deeper our love for God, the deeper our love will be for His people.  The deeper our love for people, the more committed we are to bring the love of God to them in practical and impactful ways.  So we offer support groups, like Divorce Care and Celebrate Recovery.  We also seek to engage the needs of people in our community through Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets and gift cards.  We ministry to prisoners’ families through Angel Tree, and send shoe boxes with goodies to all parts of the world through Samaritan’s Purse.  In addition, a group meets monthly in the church’s commercial kitchen to cook food for The Castle and Joe’s Java.   We are also involved with providing weekend meals for school aged kids through the Food2Go program as well as meeting kids’ needs through Shoes for the Shoeless.  

Helping the needy and hurting is deep in the heart of God.  Good deeds open up opportunities to share the Good News of Christ’s forgiveness and the gift of everlasting life.  To love God well, we must love people.  So let’s keep reaching out in the name of Jesus and let people know how much He loves them.
