ABOUT COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Community Christian Church (also known as COMMUNITY) is a church that began as the dream of 5 friends from college who wanted to create a place that would help people find their way back to God. Services were first held in a High School cafeteria in 1989, and 8 years later, COMMUNITY launched its first additional location and became one of the pioneers in Multi-site Ministry.
COMMUNITY’s vision is three-fold. To be: 1) An Impact Church – A church that will have a lasting impact on the people and places we engage. 2) A Reproducing Church – A church that will start new campuses and churches worldwide. 3) A Catalyst for a Movement – In 2001, COMMUNITY formed NewThing, a church-planting mission that now includes churches all over the world.
Today COMMUNITY is one church in 4 expressions with 7 locations, Online services, Micro Churches, and a prison ministry.
