Inspire. Train. Connect.
A lifestyle of redistribution confronts the unjust distribution of our economic, social, educational, and relational resources. It breaks down our systems of poverty & oppression and decreases the economic disparity in our communities. Our communities are then able to flourish. Join Charles Cheek to learn more about redistribution.
The principle of empowerment affirms a person’s God-given dignity and agency for that person to use their giftings to contribute to the flourishing of the community. Join Adriana Gomez-Schelhaas to learn more about the principle of Empowerment.
Christian Community Development desires to see Christ’s love & the Church integrated into every aspect of life— the spiritual, social, economic, political, cultural, emotional, physical, moral, educational, and family dynamics of an individual and community in order to bring about community flourish. Join us to learn more about Wholistic Approach.
Christian Community Development restores, empowers, develops, and creates opportunities for leadership. The core of leadership development is identifying, mentoring, retaining, and getting out of the way of leaders already in our communities. Join Turan Rush and Jeff Biddle to learn more about the principle of Leadership Development.
Join Chris Battle to learn more about the CCDA principle of Listening to the Community. By actively listening, together we can identify community assets, opportunities, and needs. Together we then cultivate, implement and benefit from a shared vision for our community.
We want to reflect on the personal influences/experiences, the key intellectual shifts, and ministry drives that formed both Dr. Rene Padilla and Dr. John M. Perkins. We want to understand what shapes their ministry philosophies and how they tried to "practice what they preach."
