Our Leadership Structure
Our church is guided by an elder board responsible for ensuring the spiritual health of the congregation and holding the Lead Pastor accountable for fulfilling the vision and ministries of Christ Community Church. The daily ministry and operations at CCC are managed by a team of paid staff who lead a committed group of volunteers, making everything possible.
