SUMMER PACKING EVENT | JULY 17 & 18
This July, Christ Community is partnering with Samaritan’s Purse for a special summer mission. Instead of waiting for the fall, we are mobilizing now to pack shoeboxes that deliver tangible gifts and the hope of the gospel to children around the world.
Our goal is to pack 5,000+ boxes across all campuses, and we have a place for you to be part of the story. Click below to see how you can help.
LET'S DO LUNCH!
This summer, don’t rush out after service, join us for lunch! We’ll gather for a shared meal, genuine fellowship, and time to connect as a church family. Everyone is welcome, and there’s always a seat at the table.

FIND YOUR PLACE TO SERVE
We want to help you find the place where you can use your unique gifts and abilities to impact our church and world. Serving is a great way to meet others, make an impact, and make Christ Community your church.
BECOME A MEMBER
Membership is a way of saying “I’m all in! This church is my church.”
Christ Community offers a collection of videos and reading assignments that equips people to thrive as followers of Jesus in this local congregation. Taking this course is how people become official members here at Christ Community.
This online membership class is on-demand and can be started at any time. You can start, stop, and pick back up where you left off at your convenience. You’ll get to ask questions along the way and you’ll connect with a pastor for a one-on-one conversation at the end of the course.
NEW TO BIBLE READING?
Have you tried to read the Bible, but got confused or bored, so you stopped? Maybe you’re curious about the Bible, but you’re too intimidated to open it up. Maybe you’ve been to church, and they started talking about Moses or 2 Kings or the epistles, and you had no idea what they were talking about, but you were too embarrassed to ask someone about it.
Getting Started with the Bible is for you. This course begins from the basics, explaining what the Bible is, where it came from, how it’s organized, and what it contains. By the end, you'll also learn a simple approach to reading any passage of Scripture and discovering practical truths you can apply to your life. No prior knowledge of the Bible is necessary.
This online course is available on YouTube and suitable for individual study at your own pace or in a group setting.
TWO-YEAR CAMPAIGN
Christ Community Church has launched a two-year campaign to adopt and revitalize two struggling churches in communities that need healthy, gospel-proclaiming, churches like Christ Community.
Whether you’re brand new or have been giving to Christ Community for a long time, you’re invited to prayerfully consider taking a bold step forward. You can still make your commitment.

WORKPLACE PRAYER GUIDES
On any given day at work, we might experience a number of challenging situations — whether that's dealing with a difficult boss, getting overlooked for a promotion, or experiencing a sense of purposelessness in our work. That's why we've developed audio prayer guides that address a variety of situations, so that they can help you pray through the specific situation you're facing.
