The CCD brings together diverse churches from around the city with a focus on two key areas – Facilitating Collaboration and Church Planting. If you’re a pastor and would like to learn more about how you and your church might benefit from our network we’d love to hear from you. If you’re part of a church or know a pastor who might be interested, please let us know. Here’s a little more information about how we accomplish our goals, and some of what we provide for and ask from member churches:
What We Provide:
Facilitating Collaboration
Church Planting Support
What We Ask:
The CCD is a relational network held together by a commitment between church leaders on behalf of the congregations and organizations they lead. We ask all leaders to make a commitment to one another (not to CCD as an organization) to live out the distinctives of the cooperative. This includes participating as a faithful member of the cooperative’s regular rhythms of connection and interaction and living out the commitment of interdependent cooperation with other churches as needs and opportunities arise. The CCD is fully funded by New Denver Church through 2017, but beyond that we will ask member churches to make a small contribution (1-3% of their ministry budget) to support the ongoing administration, development, and expansion of the network. Our goal is that any contributions to CCD beyond operating costs are reinvested back into member churches in the form of church planting grants.
