Reaching the World
Colorado Christian University recognizes the need to create an environment that fosters evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship — modeled after Christ's example. The purpose of CCU2theWorld is to create this environment both at home and abroad.
At CCU, students have the opportunity to create and design a mission trip wherever they want to go. Working with CCU staff, students learn how to build partnerships with existing ministries in the area and then co-lead the trip with a staff or faculty member.
At CCU, students are engaged and passionate about showing their faith by doing — as is written in the book of James. Every international trip encompasses an element of witnessing, so if students are teaching basketball camps in Costa Rica or working with a local church in Scotland, they're also taking time to witness and communicate the good news of Christ to others.
30 Years. 350+ Trips. 65+ Countries.
Since 1999, CCU has sent out student-led, short-term missionary teams throughout the world, serving others who are in need and finding opportunities to share God's love. CCU students serve along with faculty and staff members in relational evangelism, work projects, teaching, sports outreach, and more.
