We aim, in these partnerships, to expand God’s Kingdom, love people, and glorify Christ.  These initiatives are based out of CCC.  Opportunities for service to Charlottesville in the name of Jesus ABOUND – please see our Local Mission commitments for more recommendations.

Riverside Tutoring

We seek to obey Jesus’ command to “love one another as I have loved you” by forming relationships with the students and their families in our community who desire tutoring support.

Each Wednesday afternoon during the school year, CCC tutors welcome students in the love of Christ.  In addition to tutoring and homework help, we provide  healthy snacks for each child and a ‘Tutor Store’ where they shop with tickets they have earned for good attitudes and hard work.

PACEM

We participate in the work of this Charlottesville non-profit to help provide shelter, a meal, and dignified activities for some of Charlottesville’s homeless population.  PACEM (“Peoples and Congregations Engaged in Ministry”) supplies a safe environment for homeless men and women throughout the winter months. In 2018, we hosted the women’s shelter in early December.

Garden Project

Christ Community Church has partnered with the residents of the Riverside Ave. community to foster deeper relationships through the planting and tending of above ground gardens.

We hope to grow compassion within our church family and among our neighbors. We will grow fruits and vegetables and make these available through a variety of distribution methods to assist those in need.
