Christ Community Church affirms the definition of missions to be any endeavor outside our local congregation that fulfills the Great Commission by proclaiming the Gospel of Christ, making disciples and gathering these disciples into local congregations, while relating to the needs of the total person (spiritual, physical, emotional and social). Further, missions at CCC shall be defined as those ministries occurring throughout the world that seek to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20) in many key areas.
