How will you extend the Legacy of Ministry Education in 2023?
Since 1957, God has provided many supporters who have provided funds for a valuable Christian college experience at an affordable cost on the campus of CCCB in Moberly, Missouri.
Friends from around the country are coming together in 2023 to support the annual fund for ministry education at Central Christian College of the Bible.
“imagine TOGETHER” is inspired by Ephesians 3:20, praising God for His power to do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.”
Working together with His people, Central provides innovative ministry education in multiple locations for the Christian church.
Innovative ministry education is flexible in delivery, responsive to students, and focused on the future.
Multiple locations include wherever the church may need more trained workers.
The Christian Church fellowship of congregations is Central's primary audience while also serving the church at large.
In 2023, committed churches and individuals can “imagine TOGETHER” building a legacy for ministers now and in the future.
In the past few years, many donors have given to the CCL Foundation to develop a new site in the Cincinnati area.
Most recently, a merger with St. Louis Christian College has brought in another group of supporters.
If you also believe in the importance of ministry education for the future of the church, you are invited to support Central's distinct mission.
CCCB exists to educate biblical servants for a faithful life of kingdom ministry.
Central offers residential, graduate, online, and continuing education.
Biblical servants are able to know, interpret, live out, and teach God’s Word.
A faithful life pursues doctrinal convictions, spiritual discipleship, and personal relationships.
Kingdom ministry happens when new workers are equipped to serve in the body of Christ within a local church, in the marketplace, or on the mission field.
Your support of the CCCB annual fund for ministry education sustains the educational expenses for locations, programs, services, and scholarships.
