Mission Ministry
Community Christian Church provides opportunities for the congregation to be involved in projects and activities so we can all become disciples who serve God, each other and the community.
Bell Ringing for Salvation Army
For over 20 years during the ten days before Christmas we ring the bell for the Salvation Army Tree of Lights Campaign. Currently we ring at the Dierbergs’s market in Ballwin.
Circle of Concern Giving Tree
For over 30 years we have adopted families from Circle of Concern at Christmas. Members of the congregation take tags from our tree and purchase gifts for the family members so that on Christmas morning there will be gifts under their family tree.
Blood Drive
On a quarterly basis we invite church members and the community to join us in a blood drive to support the Red Cross. On average about 25 pints of blood are collected during each drive to help meet the demands of health care in the St. Louis area.
Circle of Concern Shopping Cart
Every Sunday our congregation members bring food to fill the shopping cart located in the Narthex. This food is then delivered to the local food pantry, Circle of Concern.
Mission Trips
Our church conducts mission trips, both locally and out of state, as needs arise and we can provide help. We have taken youth, adult and multi-generational trips to places such as Joplin, MO; New Orleans, LA; Kansas City, MO; Houston, TX.
Local Mission Projects
At various times, opportunities arise to do projects that serve the community. Some examples would be: Rainbow Village (developmentally disabled adult facility) Clean-up Day, Thanksgiving food collection at local schools, leaf raking for elderly, etc.
Stable Sale
The Stable is an ongoing ministry whereby our church collects a wide variety of items, including: clothes, toys, linens, housewares, and furniture. Some of these items are given away as we find people in serious need. The remaining items are sold at our two sales that are held in May and October.
Wunderlich Family Life Center
The WFLC provides a venue for community sports leagues, kids sports camps, celebrations, meetings, and activities.
Project Linus Blanket Making
The women and children of CCC make fleece blankets for children and adults who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need to provide them with a sense of security, warmth, and comfort. These blankets are then distributed through Project Linus.
Outside Groups
We also welcome outside groups to use our building for meetings and gatherings. Some of the groups currently meeting in our buildings are: Alcoholics Anonymous, Joyful Notes (a singing group), Needle Arts Club (quilters) and many sports teams.
