Global Missions
"Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!" (Psalm 96:3)
Christ told His disciples to preach the Gospel to the whole world (Mark 16:15). To that end, Christ Community Church places a high priority on mission work and the support of missionaries worldwide. Many of these missionaries are working in sensitive areas, so for their safety and for the sake of their mission we are not highlighting them here but you can request more information by contacting the church office.
Meserete Kristos Church, Ethiopia
Christ Community Church has partnered with Meserete Kristos (“Christ the Foundation”) Church in Ginche, Ethiopia since 2005. Mennonite missionaries founded Meserete Kristos Church in the 1950s. It was persecuted heavily – and experienced rapid growth – during the communist “Derg” (1974-91). Ethiopia is mainly Orthodox with intense Muslim inroads.
Ginche is an agricultural town about two hours west of Addis Ababa where household income is about a dollar a day. Meserete Kristos Church/Ginche has a unique profile: the congregation is 75% children! Meserete Kristos has regular evangelistic outreach to rural areas and reports new birth and growing membership. Christ Community Church donations initially supported pastor-evangelists and recently the partial construction of a permanent, larger building, both because it was needed and because without it, they faced eviction from their strategic property. Recently, the church has been challenged by the loss of its pastor and subsequent loss of 20% of its children (250 -> 200).

The Bachmann Family
David and Danora Bachmann are missionaries with Avant Ministries and have been supported by Christ Community Church since the early 1990’s. David and Danora are currently stationed in Saint Vincent Village located in Central Brazil. Their objectives are to set up and operate a base camp for a Brazilian mission named Ministerio Avant, designed to prepare missionaries from Latin America to serve in regions of the world where doors are otherwise tightly shut for missionaries from the west. They are also working to plant small low power FM radio stations in Latin America based on the geographically strategic central Brazil Plateau, two hours from the capital city of Brasilia.
David and Danora are also the planters of Antioch Bible Church in Saint Vincent Village. Antioch Bible is growing as God is pushing back the edge of invisible darkness. There are 27 adults and 14 children learning to follow God at Antioch Bible. Three couples on the church plant team are being trained to be free to depend on God. The church is now building the first stage of a Spartan, functional, 15X30 meter gym/auditorium. In the future the area is slated to serve the requirements of a day school that is sorely needed by area families who currently can only dream of seeing their kids in a school where they stand a chance of going to college.

Bluegrass Gospel Sing
The Bluegrass Gospel Sing exists to spread the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the community of people who gather together around the love of bluegrass music. Mike and Mary Robinson are full time missionaries and members of Christ Community Church. The purpose of their ministry, the Bluegrass Gospel Sing and Jam, is to spread the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the community of people who gather together around the love of bluegrass music. Mike and Mary Robinson have been ministering to the Bluegrass Music community on the east coast since 2000. They attend festivals year-round where Mike preaches gospel messages, they lead Gospel music sing alongs, and they set up camp right on the festival grounds and show the love of Christ to those around them. Being among this community gives them multiple opportunities to have impactful spiritual conversations and lead seekers to the Lord.
