About This Organization

Christ Community Church is a growing church in beautiful Rochester, Minnesota. CCC is not so much a community practicing a religion as much as a community learning to trust in Jesus and growing in a relationship with God. CCC is a member of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, a Christian denomination full of believers who long to introduce the love of God to all nations. The church is preparing to celebrate its 60th year of ministry in Rochester. CCC has 3 identical weekend services, one on Saturday and two on Sunday. Small groups also meet throughout the week. The church is known in the community for their outward focus, serving alongside and partnering with several local ministries who serve the marginalized in the city, and for its ministry to families (including an ACSI certified 4-star Parent Award winning pre-school and an outstanding AWANA program that meets on Wednesday nights).

Location

Rochester is a highly liveable city and is consistently ranked as one of the best places in the United States to live and raise a family. We are a smaller town with big amenities. As home to Mayo Clinic, we have the culture, food, and entertainment of a bigger city. We have miles of walking, hiking, and biking trails and an abundance of city and state parks close by. Rochester Public Schools are highly ranked and there are several bedroom communities close by whose schools are also excellent.  

Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission:

• We introduce people to Jesus and follow Him together.

Key Distinctions: 

• We desire depth in our relationship with Jesus and take the gospel to the darkest places. We believe “deep” expresses itself in “wide”, meaning that you have the heart and mind of Jesus when you care deeply for and think often about people who do not yet know Him.
