Our Ministries

God created the institution of marriage, and when marriages are healthy they reflect the love of God on the earth. Pastors Gregory and Geraldine McClendon are strong components of the marriage relationship and provide marriage coaching for newly married and seasoned couples. They are part of the Association of American Christian Counselors, and hold various levels of marriage coaching certifications.

This ministry is responsible for providing a quality media production through ProPresenter, music, and instruments. This ministry also makes available copies of each sermon to help edify God's people.

This ministry seeks to reach people through meeting their needs by providing basic necessities.

We host an Annual Public Service Luncheon every February as our way to say thank you to all government and local city employees in our surrounding counties for all that they do.

We attend the International Faith Conference (IFC) hosted by Dr. Bill Winston and his church, Living Word Christian Center. Click here for the 2020 IFC conference details scheduled for September 13-18, 2020 in Forest Park, IL.

The Praise Ministry uses Holy Spirit inspired singing and musical composition to usher in an atmosphere of worship that prepares the spirit of individuals to commune with God, and the hearts of individuals to receive the seed (Word of God) planted by the Pastor.

With 35 years of law-enforcement experience, Pastor Gregory McClendon provides church safety training to ensure parishioners have a safe and secure place to worship. This training includes the establishment of a safety team, the identification of potential assailants, general safety procedures and emergency evacuation instructions.

The vision of this ministry is to reach children for God in a practical way. This ministry is dedicated to providing love and attention to the youth in this church and in the community through new, innovative, and fun biblical practices. At CCU, we believe children are a gift from God. Therefore, children are provided an opportunity to experience God in a way that is life changing and contemporary. We believe that church should be one of the child's first teachers. We strongly acknowledge God's admonishment to train a child in the way they should go.

The Youth Ministry also provides opportunities for the CCU community to have fun and fellowship with each other through a variety of sports, and fitness activities. It also provides an outreach opportunity through the invitation and involvement of unchurched friends and family in recreational activities.
