the 2012 Christ Community Church missions budget goal is $300,000
15% supports local and regional mission projects; teenMOPS, Cafefest, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, New Life Family Services, regional church plants and mission trips.
45% supports global missions around the world through the Great Commission Fund. The Christian & Missionary Alliance does not require its' missionaries to raise their own support. Instead, missionaries are financed through the Great Commission Fund. There are over 800 missionaries world-wide supported by the Great Commission Fund of the C&MA.
40% supports Cambodian projects; Christian schools for Vietnamese children, rescue orphanages, leadership development, publishing, church buildings, mission trips to Cambodia and a variety of field projects which further the Cambodian church.
Our goals are:
- Developing and supporting local ministries to reach people around us with the gospel
- Cultivating a Great Commission perspective at all levels within CCC
- Supporting and participating in (primarily C&MA) missions activities to reach people around the world with the gospel
