Women’s Ministry
At CCC, we desire for women to personally know Jesus and draw closer to him each day, to find authentic relationship and a sense of community, and to grow together and encourage one another on our journey with Jesus.
SAVE THE DATE FOR THRIVE 2025, FEATURING ANN VOSKAMP! | FEBRUARY 21 & 22, 2025
Thrive is a gathering for women of all ages to come together, grow in community, worship, and connect deeply with God.
Thrive 2025 will feature Ann Voskamp, the wife of a farmer, mama to seven, and author of the New York Times bestsellers The Broken Way, The Greatest Gift, Unwrapping the Greatest Gift, and the sixty-week New York Times bestseller One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, which has sold more than 1.5 million copies and been translated into more than twenty languages.
Named by Christianity Today as one of fifty women most shaping culture and the church today, Ann is a passionate advocate for the marginalized and oppressed around the globe, partnering with Mercy House Global, Compassion International, and artisans around the world through her fair trade community, The Grace Crafted Home. She and her husband took a leap of faith to restore a 125-year-old stone church into The Village Table, a place where everyone has a seat and belongs.
Bible Studies, Classes, and Groups
Bible studies and classes provide opportunity to study, learn and be in community with adult women of all ages. Whether a new believer, just beginning your journey with Jesus, or a long-time follower, you are invited to join us!
MomCo (formerly known as MOPS) is shorthand for “Mom Community” and is an outreach ministry for moms. Moms are the most powerful creatures on the planet. We are the ones influencing the smallest details of people’s days but also the trajectory of generations.
We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together. When moms are resourced, elevated, educated, and empowered to do what they are meant to do in the world, everyone is better because of it.
We invite you to join our sisterhood! We have groups for moms of children ages birth through kindergarten and groups for moms of children ages kindergarten through high school. Registration opens on May 3.

Women’s Radical Mentoring
We want to create a safe, judgement-free mentoring environment where women can deepen their relationship with God, develop authentic relationships and be known by others, share their stories, understand who God created them to be, and live confidently in that identity!
Small groups of three to five women, facilitated by a woman a few life stages ahead, will meet for a nine-month season beginning in September. Each group will meet monthly for up to three hours, have reading and homework assignments, memorize scripture, and build relationships by meeting one-on-one with your mentor and others in your group. The group will set a schedule and protect those scheduled dates. Importance is placed on attendance, timeliness, preparation, and respect for your group.

Selah
Selah is a contemplative prayer group that provides time set apart for women to experience silence and solitude, focusing on being alone with God and in the community of others. Selah includes four main components—the Contemplative (a receptive form of prayer in which we open ourselves to God in stillness and silence), Spiritual Disciplines, Lectio Divina, and Prayerful Listening. Groups meet one Saturday a month, September through April.
