Student-Led Ministries

Making a Difference

CCU students create ministries to meet needs. They strive to be better leaders. They live up to a higher standard. They get outside their comfort zones and push their limits. They don’t just talk about it...they do it. Here are some ways CCU students are making a difference in the local community.

FatBoys

The FatBoys ministry exists to expand students' understanding of the homeless and to follow in the footsteps of Christ by helping those in need. This group meets weekly to bike on the streets of downtown Denver and minister to the homeless by building relationships and providing food, clothing, and other practical items to individuals they encounter.

Footprints

The Footprints ministry pairs students with foster families in the Denver metro area to provide help with the children and assist the families as needed. CCU students also serve as sitters for the foster families while the parents attend support group meetings.

Prayer Ministry

The Prayer Ministry's desire is to encourage prayer at CCU. This group organizes prayer groups and coordinates CCU's Half Day of Prayer once each semester.

Refugee Family Ministry

The Refugee Family ministry pairs students with refugee families who have recently been relocated to the Denver metro area. Concentration of this ministry is placed on helping the individual families adjust to American culture by spending time one-on-one, going on local outings, assisting with learning the English language, and other tasks relevant to the family's needs.

SFC/SALT

The Snowboarders & Skiers For Christ/Snowriders As Living Testimonies (SFC/SALT) ministry desires to bring a passion and love for Jesus Christ into the skiing and snowboarding communities in Summit County and the Denver Metro Area. Students’ hope is to provide ways for these communities to experience the love of Jesus via conversations and interactions. These opportunities take place through teaching, BBQs in resort parking lots, coffee and wax nights, and interactions with youth at Ruby Hill. Ministry members hit the slopes throughout the ski season.

Snappers

The Snappers (short for Whippersnappers) ministry exists to love the lonely, the widowed, the hurting, and the elderly people in nursing homes and give of themselves in such a way that they see Jesus. Members meets twice a week to witness to the residents at a local nursing home through singing, games, and fellowship.

Westside

Westside ministry is an inner-city children’s ministry that includes Whiz Kids and Street Church. Students are given the opportunity to share the light of Christ in a place of darkness, serving through mentorship, tutoring, small groups, and Bible studies.
