Ministries

Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program – Our church provides overnight shelter and dinner to program participants in our neighborhood. Our church hosts the meal once a month and provides space to sleep comfortably each Monday.

In conjunction with our sister congregation, Guardian Angels Ecumenical Catholic Community, we offer non-perishable bag lunches daily 9-10am. We distributed over 11,000 lunches last year in addition to clothes, shoes, and hygiene items every day. Please click here for a list of items we are accepting as donations!

Community exclusively serves organic, shade-grown Arabica coffee purchased from a cooperative in Chiapas, Mexico. Because this coffee is purchased directly from the growers, who control the entire process from growing to roasting, packaging, and selling the beans, the growers get almost 5 times more money than even “fair trade.” Our local “Coffee Minister” brings coffee weekly in case you run out and need more!

Our church provides volunteers to maintain water stations in the desert near the US-Mexico border. This humanitarian effort is an attempt to prevent the hundreds of migrant deaths each year trying to cross our border.

Community Christian Church works hard to use less of our earth’s resources by recycling and reusing. We are a ‘green church’ as we have policies which limit our usage of paper products at our church functions. We have installed programmable thermostats on our heating and cooling units and replaced our light fixtures with the new energy efficient low wattage lights. We have installed solar panels on a parking structure on our campus for the general use of electricity on our campus. We also are a congregational member in Arizona Interfaith Power and Light.

We have several groups of this nature, both online and in person. Weekly we have a Bible Study via Zoom on Wednesdays, a Prayer group via Zoom on Tuesdays, and a Justice Study on Thursdays via Zoom. As well, we have monthly women’s groups and a bi-weekly online Men’s Study on Saturday mornings. Check the event calendar for details.

We are currently operating a Cooling Center for neighbors experiencing housing insecurity. The hours of operation are Sundays 1pm-7pm, Mondays 9am-1pm, and every other day 9am-7pm.
