Connection Christian Church began in 2000 as a church plant and a multisite campus. Those first years doing the portable church routine—setting up then tearing down in schools, banquet centers, a warehouse, and a movie theater—instilled valuable traits into the church family.

Though CCC now has its own building and no longer has to haul totes in and out every week, the gritty determination, adaptability, volunteer culture, and deep desire to make a place for everyone to connect and belong remains strong.

Moreover, CCC has always been driven by the mission of Jesus to reach the one, and a vision of a place where anyone, especially those who have had little or no experience with church or who had become disconnected from church, would find a connection to God and a place to belong.

This is a healthy, strong, resilient church that is eager to add more people to the church family. We are looking for a team member who loves to strategize, equip, train, and lead staff and high-capacity volunteers in putting the mission and vision into practice and who has the giftedness and experience to create systems and teams that will allow us to care for double our current size and beyond.
