Thank you for your continued support of Christ Community Church!
Prayer Requests
The staff of Christ Community meets each morning to pray for the families of our church but since we've removed the giving time from the services we haven't received as many prayer cards from you all. So, we're going to try something new!
We will now include this link (below) in our Weekly Updates so that you can let us know how to be praying for you, your family, and those in your spheres of influence.
Submit your prayer request here.
Small Groups - Join One Today!
Small Groups are a great way to stay connected at CCC, so we encourage you to join one!

Music from Our Recorded Services
During the time we weren't able to meet in person, due to COVIC, we recorded our worship services and compiled a database of the songs we recorded. If you're interested in listening to any of these songs,
You can listen here!
Thank you to Dave and Kathy Arasmith for opening their home (the basement studio) to the worship team and Dave for the time spent mixing these tracks. Even though we're back together for worship we hope these continue to bless you and your family.
Do This in Remembrance of Me: Communicants Workbook
While we want to take the process of our children becoming full-communing members of our church seriously, we also want to be careful not to make it more complex than adult membership given that they are asked the same questions. Thus, we have designed the communicant’s material to focus on the 5 membership questions that they will be asked to be admitted to the Lord’s Table.
