History
In 1921, Dr. R.R. Brown held tent services at 24th and Binney, leading to the establishment of the Omaha Gospel Tabernacle as part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
In 1923, Dr. Brown began a radio broadcast that grew to reach a national audience of more than half a million. The broadcast continued for the next 53 years, becoming the longest continuous radio program on any one station in the world.
In 1976, plans were developed to move to the Old Mill Business Park on what was the western edge of the city. In 1982, Bob Thune accepted God’s call to lead the congregation. During his 22 years of leadership, the name was changed to Christ Community Church, the current buildings were completed, and God blessed the ministry with significant influence and growth.
Lead Minister Mark Ashton joined CCC in 2006 with a powerful vision to reach the city, the nation, and the world with the love of Christ. In 2006, CCC helped fund and build a hospital in West Africa for women and children. In the coming years, CCC has planted numerous local churches and partnered with Bridge Church, Mission Church, in the Douglas County Jail with a mission to reach our city. In 2012, cccomaha.tv was launched, broadcasting the gospel to the next generation. In 2014, our campus grew to include The Porch at Old Mill, which currently houses CityCare Counseling and Crown College Omaha.
In 2021, CCC celebrated its 100-year anniversary. From a tent revival to a network of churches, innovative resources, and parachurch organizations that have city-wide and world-wide impact, the CCC story is a testimony to God’s faithfulness in the past, present and future.
CCC is proud to be a part of
