Each year, leaders from around the world—including Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America—attend CCDA’s National Conference. We seek to build transnational relationships, connect with Christian Community Development (CCD) work globally, learn from CCD practices in diverse contexts, and explore strategic pathways for CCDA’s growing global engagement.
If you are involved in church-based Christian Community Development in your country or region or would like to be, we encourage you to connect with international networks that align with our mission. Here are some key organizations:
- Micah Network – a global association of hundreds of organizations in 80+ countries pursuing holistic, integral mission – including CCD
- La Red Del Camino – a movement focused on connecting churches & practitioners involved in integral mission in Latin America
- InnerCHANGE – Christian order among the poor worldwide
- Servant Partners – a movement centered on Jesus Christ, planted in urban poor communities around the world
