The Student Ministry at CCC values many different things. One of our values is fun. When we plan an event or a trip we ask ourselves, “Will this event be the most fun a student can have?” We also value safety. Safety is always at the forefront of our minds when we plan and execute programming for students.

Another value for the Student Ministry at CCC is service. We believe that students should have opportunities to not only learn to follow Jesus but also have some real opportunities to serve as well. For that reason, over the past two summers, the only trips we have offered for both middle and high school students have been service trips. We want to ingrain the importance of service in our summer trips. We hope when students evaluate how they can spend their summer, they will automatically want to serve. When it came time to plan this year’s summer trips we immediately began thinking of the best service trip opportunities for CCC students. Check out this year’s summer service trips:

Middle School – LIVE out LOUD
From July 12th until July 17th middle school students from CCC will go to Lancaster, PA for LIVE out LOUD. LIVE out LOUD will help students recognize the heart of service through repairing, renovating and transforming houses. Not only will students be doing minor home repair, but they will also come to an understanding of the awesome relationship that Jesus offers through worship, small group discussions, and relationships with trip leaders.

High School – Dominican Republic
From June 19th until June 26th high school students from CCC will go to the Dominican Republic for their summer service trip. In the Dominican we will partner with David & Virginia Savage. David & Virginia have been working in the Dominican for over 30 years doing local church planting. While there students will have the opportunity to do church construction, programming for children, and other community projects. The Dominican Republic trip can be a life changing experience for any student that goes.

It is the hope of the CCC Student Ministry Team that every student will go on one of these trips. Trip packets will be available Sunday, December 20th at the information table in the lobby at CCC. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, ryan.arnold@communitycc.net
