Koinonia ACG (Room 15)
The Koinonia ACG combines in-depth study on biblical, theological, and historical topics with in-depth application. We aren’t just filling heads, but looking to how the truths we discuss impact our daily living, our interactions with our brothers and sisters in Christ, and our mission to the world.
- Current Series: Jesus the One and Only (Begins Aug. 10th). Jesus can’t be fit neatly into one category. He is Eternal God, yes. He’s also the son of a young Palestinian girl. He’s a wise teacher AND a wonder worker. He is a storyteller AND the central character in the story of human history. He is utterly unique, and he is ours. This series will explore devotionally who Jesus is and how this should be reflected in our worship, prayer, and living.
- Recent past topics: Turning Points in Church History, Training Ambassadors, Exodus, The Atonement; Christ in the Old Testament; The Love of God.
Women’s ACG (Room 17)
- Current Series: Prayer in the Night with Melissa Hullinger & Amy Hendershott (begins Aug. 10th). Come join the women of CCC in exploring how the practice of prayer can guide and sustain us in seasons of hardship, uncertainty, and waiting. Following the book Prayer in the Night by Tish Harrison Warren and building on themes from the recent sermon series on Job, we’ll consider how to cultivate faith when life feels most fragile.

Come join our community of international students and visiting scholars as we enjoy coffee and breakfast together and use the Alpha video series to help us discuss questions about life, faith, and God. Alpha is for people at every point of their spiritual journey so no question is off-limits or too basic.
