Make A Difference

Our lives brighten when we make a difference in the world for good. Service to others and justice/witness ministry are vital aspects of our expression of Christian faith. Community Christian Church has a very active outreach ministry. We believe it is a Christian imperative to reach out to meet others in need and to be agents of social change, speaking out for the marginalized.

Get involved (walk the talk!):

Stock shelves at the SWEM (Southwest Ecumenical Ministries) food cupboard each month or donate food.

Work at the Salem Soup Kitchen every Monday, preparing and serving a hot meal to Rochester’s homeless.
Join a workteam to build a house with Habitat for Humanity.

Walk in the Pride Parade. Gay and straight join together. For the past two years, CCC has had the largest church group participating in the parade!
Donate items for baby kits for Church World Service for overseas distribution to needy families.
Contribute blankets, gloves, socks, and towels to people in need in the community.
