How it all started...
Christ Community Church held it first services on May 28, 2023. After losing a
disaffiliation vote from the United Methodist organization, many members chose to meet together at Mutchler Community Center and establish a new, non-denominational church. While organizers anticipated 35-40 people, around 70 people showed up for the first service. A launch committee helped elect church leaders and search for a full-time pastor. Pastor Jacob Sandholm was selected as the pastor, and the Elder Board, along with the pastor, worked on church by-laws and church structure. An Administrative Council was established comprised of chairs of various service groups. The congregation continued to grow, and members of the church strove to fulfill the church’s mission statement: To be followers of Jesus in both word and deed. Since its inception, Christ Community Church has been devoted to Biblical preaching, small group studies, and service to the community. Our intention is to continue to follow God’s lead into the future.
