Local Ministry Partnerships
CCF not only wants to be a part of seeing the gospel spread to the ends of the earth, but we also desire to see the gospel spread in our own community. CCF seeks to partner with like minded individuals and organizations here in our area to meet tangible needs and help make disciples of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8).
Local Ministry Partnerships
His Pins
Our "In-house" disciple-making program utilizes the sport of archery to teach kids ages 9-17 about Jesus Christ and helps them grow in their Christian faith. Classes typically meet on Tuesday evenings throughout the year. His Pins uses the concepts of archery to teach the Gospel to kids here in Centerville. No archery background? No problem, His Pins could still use your help.
No Longer Strangers
No Longer Strangers in downtown Dayton assists a large refugee community residing in the Dayton area. They are from war-torn countries in eastern and central Africa such as Eritrea, Sudan, Egypt, and Congo and were resettled in Dayton from various refugee camps. The purpose of the ministry is to offer genuine Christian friendship to the refugee community as they learn to live in a new country. The ministry needs volunteers to help tutor elementary through high school age refugees and hopes to re-instate an English as a Second Language ministry.
Hope Rising
Hope Rising (formerly known as Miami Valley Women’s Center) in Kettering, Dayton, Xenia, and Huber Heights is a Pregnancy Resource Center that serves women, men, and their families with life-affirming information and pregnancy-related care. The Center is a Christ-centered outreach, offering God’s compassion and truth, which affirms the lives and futures of women, families, and their unborn children. The need for volunteers in every capacity remains great. The MVWC needs volunteers for peer counseling, discipleship programs, board membership, grounds keeping, cleaning, office administration, sorting baby clothes and much more.

Gospel Mission of Dayton

Their services are for anyone in need; physical, emotional and spiritual support is given freely. Services include a food pantry, thrift store, gym, daily meal, after-school children’s programs, and an adult Bible institute. There are opportunities to serve in these and other capacities every day, including evenings and weekends for those who work during the day.
International Friendships, Inc. (IFI)
CCF began partnering with IFI at the end of 2023. IFI exists to extend life-changing hospitality and friendship to international students out of reverence for Jesus. CCF now has several volunteers who are spending time with international students in the area, but we would love to have more volunteers. If you, your friends, your family, or your small group would like to learn more about how to get involved, please see the links below. Gabriel Hoffman (g.hoffman@ifiusa.org) is the Volunteer and Church Coordinator for IFI and would be happy to assist you in the volunteer process.
