Profile: Christian Community Action

A Ministry Is BornChristian Community Action (CCA) was founded on February 22, 1973, by a small group of Christians studying the Bible in search of the meaning of love. We were compelled by what we had learned and committed to become a visible channel of God’s love.  It was this resolve that led to the organization of a continuing community effort focused on living out the mandate of Jesus Christ to care for "the least of the brethren."
