OUTREACH INITIATIVES

Christ's Church for Our Community is a distinctive faith-based organization that considers our formation strategically devoted to fostering inter-organizational partnerships and collaborations that transcend any sectarian restrictions. While many faith-based organizations focus solely on worship and other religious purposes, CCFOC was founded as an externally focused organization dedicated to outreach. Some of our efforts are done through the church's internal ministries.


Other outreach efforts are coordinated through Christ's Church Community Development Corporation (CCCDC), a 501(c)3 community-based entity structured to facilitate collaboration with other like-minded, empowerment-centered organizations.  


The Senior leadership of CCFOC works actively in and throughout the community through higher education, civic and community engagement, law enforcement, workforce development, social justice, and other impactful roles.


Christ's Church Community Development Corporation (CCCDC) complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, or sexual orientation.


PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES

All programs, whether done via CCFOC or CCCDC, are open to all individuals in the community regardless of religious beliefs, serve a secular purpose, do not require participation in prayer, worship, or other religious activities as a condition of receiving services offered and do not use the individual donation or resulting match for religious purposes.
