Ministries
Worship
Because God first loved us, we are called to respond in the praise and worship of the Triune God! We gather for worship at 10am to glorify God through singing, scripture reading, and by participating in the Lord’s Supper. Learn more on our Join Us page!
House Church
We gather weekly in small-groups around a meal to fellowship and practice the way of Jesus together. It’s one thing to talk about following Jesus, it’s another to love one another as we have first been loved! House Church is place we live out our membership in the body of Christ through a common life and ministry.
Children’s Formation
During the School Year, we gather our children before worship to teach them the Way of Jesus and grow them up in love and fellowship to be disciples.
Catechism
We invite those who long to commit their lives to Jesus to prepare for baptism and a life of faith through teaching, practice and fellowship.
Adult Formation
During the School Year, we meet before worship to continue to grow in faith together. By growing in knowledge and daily practice we seek to become more fully disciples of the living God for God's glory and for the sake of the world.
Peace & Justice Ministry
We are called to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God. The Peace & Justice Ministry Team equips our community to seek peace and justice in God’s earth: to engage in the work of reconciliation of people, the land, and all its living creatures through the little way of Christ.
Benevolence
This ministry team equips our church to live out God's economy of Jubilee; an economy characterized by abundance, thanksgiving, just economic practices and friendship with the poor.
Partnerships
Mennonite Church USA
Christ Community Church is a member congregation of the Central Plains Conference of the Mennonite Church USA. “Mennonite” is a nickname for a Christian reform movement that emerged in Europe during the widespread political and spiritual upheaval of the 16th century. These reformers sought to revive a deep commitment to the Way of Jesus among all Christians. Mennonites are characterized by strong commitments to nonviolence, social justice, and community life. Most importantly, Mennonites believe that Jesus’ life of suffering love is exemplary for all Christians. There currently are nearly 1 million Mennonites in 60 countries worldwide.
Ekklesia Project
The Ekklesia Project is a community of Christians who have found life-giving friendship through a shared hope in the vision of God’s good shalom. From across the ecclesial spectrum we gather virtually and in person, supporting each other and our communities in the beautiful, vexing, imperfect work of bearing witness to the non-violent way of the Cross.
