Christian Community Action (CCA) was founded on February 22nd, 1973, by a small group of Christians studying the Bible in search of love. We were compelled by what we had learned and committed to become a visible channel of God's love. 

It was this resolve that led to the organization of a continuing community effort focused on living out the mandate of Jesus Christ to care for "the least of the brethren."

Building A Foundation For Service

Initial efforts focused on local, mainstream Christian Pastors and their congregations. They asked for food, clothing, furniture, house wares and money. Although slowly at first, the resources began to came in. Even though initial efforts were difficult and even met with resistance, the overall progess was positive and gratifying. 

Helping Famlies to Help Themselves

This completely changed the nature of our relationship with the needy families who sought us out. We could no longer be a superficial, arms length support medium. We now became involved in their lives on a personal level. To significantly impact them we had to ask hard, often embarrassing questions about income, spending habits, planning and budgeting. For the first time, we really got to know the families we longed to serve.

Expansion and Infrastructure

In 1975, their strategy began to be more universal. To help more people, they had to discern between true needs and wants. They had to build an infrastructure that would allow them to cast a wider net in their efforts to impact an even greater number of families. They focused more diligently on corporate donations, and larger scale initiatives.

CCA ReSale: The Foundation of Momentum and Success...

Their decision to create CCA ReSale stores which provided "second hand treasures, first hand bargains" brought together three distinct economic groups in the community: affluent families and businesses, bargain hunters, and families in need. Gently used donation, excess inventory and the incentive of tax benefits provided quality goods attracting bargain hunters from every walk of life. This revenue stream now accounts for 54% of their total organizational income and allows them to provide consistent financial aid to families in more than 46 communities.

For these and many more reasons, Crosspointe has created a Strategic Missional Partnership with CCA to reach out to thousands in need across the Denton County. Visit www.ccahelps.org for more details on this fantastic organization.
