Our heart at CCCC is to have small groups reach out and impact our community in tangible ways. We encourage groups to be on the lookout for needs you can meet, and people you can serve. The Go Ops listed below are opportunities for your group to consider engaging in ministries within our community. Please contact the appropriate person for additional information and to schedule a time for your group to serve. If your group has a Go Op project idea contact Ginger Chi, gchi@clearcreek.org, 832.605.5345, for a resource application or questions. Need some ideas to get you started?
