LIVING LIFE TOGETHER

The purpose of Women in Ministry is to encourage women to use their unique gifts within the church body, to be a resource for women through discipleship and gospel-centered opportunities, including facilitating intergenerational relationships and intentional life-on-life fellowship in an environment where every woman feels seen, supported, and confident they have a place at CCCM.

Fellowship & Community

Special Interest Groups

Often, deeper relationships are formed when you discover a common interest. Special interest groups are an effort to help women in our church experience fellowship and connection with other women they may not otherwise interact with.

Current Groups and upcoming gatherings:
