CCM November 2020 Perspective

COMING IN FEBRUARY...
CCM's 2025 "New Horizons" Strategic Plan
From Our Director Of
Community Engagement,
Jeremy Burleson
COLLABORATION
As I stepped away
after nearly 20 years of
working in the corporate
business sector, I carried
one very significant
accomplishment of my
career with a prodigious sense of importance…
that being the relationships which were built
over that span.
Those relationships were built on three
meaningful, but simple, attributes of success:
trust, communication and shared common
goals. Thankfully, the aims of the network
of churches here in Cabarrus and southern
Rowan counties and CCM do indeed share
commonality; to share the goodness and grace
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through our
respective ministries.
God has provided us a pathway to a successful
relationship by way of that shared objective.
A 2030 Vision for this community as well as
a Strategic Plan of collaboration toward that
Vision, is now up to US.
With that, how can CCM play a part
in your church’s community outreach
and local missions plan?
Let’s meet… Let’s talk… Let’s have coffee…
Let’s have lunch… most importantly, let’s PRAY
together!
I hope for many opportunities ahead to meet
each of you personally and share the latest
direction of Cooperative Christian Ministry
(CCM) to your body of believers. I believe that
God will continue to reward our discernment
and diligence immensely and that HE has
something special in store!
TOGETHER
WE STAND UNITED
NOVEMBER CRISIS UPDATE
CCM continues to operate under the COVID response
models in our food, financial and housing programs. In
September, we added part-time staff to increase our
service delivery.
Applications for financial assistance to address rent
and utilities continue to challenge our capacity to
serve.
To date, CCM has provided more
than $656,000 in (rent/utilities)
financial relief to over 700
households averaging $936 per
household.
Ninety-one percent (91%) of those
requests are COVID related. More
than half (52%) are first time
requests with CCM.
CCM is committed to continue delivering a very high level of crisis relief
through the end of 2020 and into 2021!
