OUR MISSION:
TO MAKE DISCIPLES OF JESUS FOR KINGDOM IMPACT 2
LEAD PASTOR MARK ASHTON
God is doing incredible things at Christ Community Church! 2017 may have been one of our most exciting years yet! • Co-planting Providence Church and Mission Church • Leading a citywide outreach series called Love Can • Launching the CCC Residency program with twelve residents
• Kicking off Beyond Belief: a monumental generosity initiative that will define our church’s vision for the next two years
I absolutely love being your pastor! And I am so grateful for the incredible men and women who call CCC their church home and are living their lives in full surrender to Jesus and making disciples. May God bless and strengthen us as we go all-in together in 2018!

B E YON D B E LIE F At the end of 2017, we embarked on a brand-new season at Christ Community Church called Beyond Belief, a disciple-making and generosity initiative that we will be engaged in over the next two years at CCC.
PR I M A RY G OA L: 1 0 0% E N GAG E M E NT We want every person to surrender more deeply to God & grow in generosity.
S E CO N DA RY G OA L: $22 M I LLI O N B E YO N D O U R WA LL S — $ 3 . 8 M I LLI O N Additional funding for local missions and church planting in Omaha, the CCC Church Residency program, various citywide evangelism projects, and to complete Porch renovations. B E YO N D O U R B O R D E R S — $ 5 .7 M I LLI O N Increase our giving to the Great Commission Fund by 25%, additional support for pastor and leader training in West Africa and the Far East, and establish a new partnership with Alliance churches in Cuba. B E YO N D O U R S E LV E S — $12 . 5 M I LLI O N Building on our current ministry foundation of $9.1 million that supports CCC local ministry, we seek $3.4 million to renovate the Worship Center, Gym, and disciple-making venues for the next generation of ministry, and provide for needed staff security, safety, and office updates. ONE FUND Beyond Belief is a “one fund” approach. That means that all of our giving to CCC, our citywide impact, and all of our missions initiatives—including the Great Commission Fund—will come out of a single bucket.

churches Within Reach is a movement of leaders and churches to advance the gospel in our community. It is impossible for any one church or one group to reach the Omaha Metro with the good news of Jesus. Convinced this is our calling, CCC and churches across Omaha are banding together to accomplish the mission of Jesus. We are locking arms to raise our relational evangelistic temperature, plant churches, launch campuses, extend compassion, and love our neighbors.
