Global Outreach

World Outreach is a huge part of who we are at CCTO.  We participate in ministries around the globe that are actively planting churches, rescuing orphans, educating children, providing medicine for those who are suffering, empowering women in oppressive cultures, and ministering to the lost and brokenhearted.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  Acts 1:8

We take this verse seriously and seek to spread the gospel message of Jesus to the ends of the earth.  We do this by giving the first 20% of our offering to World and Local Outreach and by actively participating in these missions through frequent trips and regular communication with those on the field.  CCTO is also a place where our continual desire is to raise up the next generation of missionaries.

Below you will find a list of global ministries that we believe in and support.  We have invested our time and resources in these ministries becasue they are committed to showing the love of Jesus to the world through word and actions.  Both youth and adults take regular trips with these ministries to serve, encourage, learn, and grow.  Please contact the church office or our calendar for upcoming missions opportunities.
