I came from a âmegaâ church, that I had been attending since 1990 and taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School for 7 1/2 years. (The church then was about 800 people). When our âlittle churchâ grew and actually âimplodedâ to over 2,500 in a very short period of time, I noticed the Pastor started asking for tithes, an increase in tithes, and yet, it seemed there were higher expectations (with no thanks whatsoever), if their teachers. I noticed that the counselors and Pastor(s) were always too busy or couldnât be reached easily, and phone calls were never returned. The âleadersâ of the church lived in beautiful, big houses in upscale parts of town, and âvacationsâ were called âmissionsâ, as the Pastor, his family and âbest friendsâ used the Churchâs money to go on safaris and travel the country. When I sustained a serious injury and could no longer teach, not ONE SINGLE PERSON (Superintendent, Assistant Pastor, Childrenâs Director, etc.) called to even see how I was doing! Not once! Needless to say, I was heartbroken and felt âusedâ. Then I discovered Community Christian Church. Not a super mega church, Iâve never been asked for money (although I tithe to them regularly), events are FREE with no strings attached, they acknowledge you when you walk into the auditorium and the people here are very friendly. No one is pushy, and they let you attend anything and everything at your own speed. The Pastor is interesting and witty and every sermon has a âchuckleâ in it. I hope and pray Community doesnât grow so big that it loses sight of what itâs there for...to be the âfisher of menâ and bring the lost to Christ. Itâs not about âshowtimeâ or âhow big you can get the churchâ, or how many services you can get on t.v. God definitely has his hand on this Church, and Iâm pleased to say, I attend Community Christian Churchâđđđ. (Perhaps the âspeakersâ can be turned down a bit, as it does hurt the ears, and perhaps one day, soon I hope, you can do more of a âtraditionalâ service, choir would be niceđ, and sing some âoldâhymns, like In the Garden, Onward Christian Soldiers, etc.....that would be WONDERFUL for the Senior worshipers!

   Read moreI love this church! It's so warm and welcoming. I immediately felt at home upon my first visit (5 mos ago). Pastor Scott is great, Tim is hilarious! Alex the youth pastor is amazing as well...Pastor G. Is new but I like him too! The love and concern for each other and others is genuine. They have so many outreach programs and ways to give back to the community and be an example of Christ. I have to find my nitch and serve in this beautiful body of Christ. I definitely cannot forget the choir I LOVE that you sing songs on the radio . I just wish the congregation lifted their voices more.. but this choir is AMAZING ..Dont change... I wish I had a voice because I would be up there singing! Thank you Community Christian Church for representing the body of Christ in LOVE and in...
   Read moreWe have attended CCC several times and were blessed by Pastor Scottâs messages. Unfortunately, we had a pretty negative and unwelcoming experience this weekend. We have a 1 year old and always sit in the back in the family section. She has making a few noises playing with a book for less than a minute and a staff member approached us and said âif your baby keeps cooing, you should go in the family roomâ. She was very unfriendly and cold and it took us off guard as our baby wasn't crying or even being that loud. We would have taken her out if she was crying or being loud. The church policy feels very adult centric and unwelcoming to families with young children so it is probably not a good place for family worship, and we likely will not be returning since we...
