Welcome to the Christ Community Church.

Our church is a group of people who are "connecting to Jesus and to each other for strengthening and serving our community". You'll find under the ministries tab several ways to join this mission and a calendar under the events tab that will help you choose when and where to join us. We gather together to be equipped for a week of living out the love and justice of our great God.

Peace to you, Pastor Scott Dement
