The Christian Community Development Association recognizes that all people are created in the image of God and have gifts and abilities that should be developed to their fullest potential in order to advance His kingdom. We believe that all students, regardless of their community or zip code, should have access to an education system that helps them realize their full God-given potential. Because of this shared value, CCDA has made education advocacy one of our three platform advocacy issues.
