Christian Community Development Association (CCDA)

Christian Community Development Association's (CCDA) vision is to see wholistically restored communities with Christians fully engaged in the process of transformation. Our mission is to inspire, train, and connect Christians who seek to bear witness to the Kingdom of God by reclaiming and restoring under-resourced communities. Each year, CCDA organizes a national conference which draws more than 2,500 people from around the world to share in best practices of Christian community development (CCD). Practitioners teach workshops around relevant themes and find support by networking with others facing similar challenges. Partners offer valuable resources, assisting practitioners in their community transformation efforts. Advocates bring attention to issues affecting people at the grassroots level. And provocative speakers challenge our assumptions about what it means to embody Christ's love as we journey together in our marginalized communities.
