    Missions We Support:

    Central Christian Church currently send support to ten (10) missions.  The missions we currently help support are: 

    TCM (Taking Christ to Millions) International

    African Christian Mission

    Vincennes University Christian Campus Fellowship

    New Hebron School

    St. Louis Christian College

    Illiana Christian Camp

    Lincoln Christian College

    Oblong Children's Christian Home

    Sign of the Kingdom - East

    Wabash Retirement Center in Carmi

    We give to these missions on a quarterly basis and each gets the same amount, which is $456.80.  Doesn't sound like much does it?  But, if you add it all up it accounts to approximately 12% of the entire church budget, and it ends up
    being a grand total of $18,272 a year!

    · African Christian Missions (ACM) -  The goals of ACM are to plant churches in all 18 West African countries, and help these churches to learn to plant new churches themselves.  The final goal is to continue to expand into other countries and regions. In Cross River State, which is in the lower right corner of Nigeria, there are now 11 churches and four of those now have average attendance of better than 300.  They are offering Bible Only-Unity seminars in several cities and looking to start a new church in Benin City.  If you are interested in further assisting them in their work you can contact them at 217-948-5486 or E-mail them at EdNigeria@aol.com.

    ·Taking Christ to Millions (TCM) -  TCM is located in Indianapolis, IN.  TCM, International is dedicated to bringing the Gospel to Eastern Europe.  TCM, Int. was founded in 1963 and was dedicated to letting the Christians in Communist Eastern Europe know they were not forgotten by providing food, Bibles, Christian literature, medicine and clothing. 
     In 1971, a house in Austria called "Haus Edelwiess" was purchased to serve as jumping off point into Eastern Europe
    to help the Christians there.    In 1982, TCM, Int., expanded the mission at Haus Edelwiess to also provide leadership training to Christians in Eastern Europe.  Christians in those countries could come to Austria to do Bible Study and
    other topics with professors and preachers from the United States.  Classes were also offered "in-country" for those Christians who could not come to Austria.  Today, more than 43 years after it was founded, TCM, International
    continues to serve the Christians in Eastern Europe.  If you are interested in helping out or learning more about TCMI,
    they may be contacted by 317-299-0333 or you can e-mail them at tcm@tcmi.org.  You may also visit them on the web
    at:  www.tcmi.org.

    Christian Campus Fellowship ministers to the students of Vincennes University.  It is a
    strong Christian Foundation.  CCF is a non-denominational fellowship of Christian
    students sponsored by independent Christian Churches of Christ.  They firmly believe
    that the Bible, both the Old and New Testament, is the expressed Word of God and is
    thoroughly reliable  in nature.

    Oblong Children's Christian Home serves children between the ages of 5 and 17 who need
    out of home placement for a variety of reasons including parental illness, alcoholism,
    inability to set appropriate structure and incarceration.  In addition, some children need
    out of home placement because they have been unwilling to abide by parental rules or
    have been delinquent.
     

     

     

    New Hebron Christian School recognizes God as the creator of all things, the source for all
    truth and His Word as the final authority in communicating His truth.  True education must
    come from God and is incomplete without a personal knowledge of Him.  We believe that
    Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He, not education, is man's only hope of salvation. 
    We believe that the Bible is God's inspired Word and is completely accurate in all matters,
    scientific, historical, and spiritual.

     

    St. Louis Christian College is located at 1360 Grandview Drive in Florissant, MO  63033.
    Some changes have been afoot at the college during the last year.  The new president of
    the college is Dr. Guthrie Veech and the new academic dean is Dr. Mike Chambers. 
    The college is working on raising funds to equip a second classroom with cutting-edge,
    audio/visual technology.  The college also has a new fitness center in the Keystone
    complex and the Kool Beanz Coffeehouse in Presidents Hall.  If you would like more
    information about St. Louis Christian College check out their website. or call
    314-837-6777.
     


    Camp Illiana
    is located in Washington, IN.  What an exciting place to go!  They had over
    1700 campers last year and 41 of those were baptized at the camp.  Another 25 campers
    were baptized back home while 8 others rededicated their lives to Christ.  From these
    statistics alone, you can tell that Camp Illiana has a tremendous impact on the lives of
    the campers who attend there.  A new 60 care parking lot has been added, and currently
    they are working on some renovations to the Dining Hall.
     

     


    Christian Homes, Inc. - Prior to 1960, most people who retired stayed at home, and those
    needing real nursing care were kept in hospitals. Senior adults had few options, and
    nursing homes provided minimal care and basic services.

    Christian Homes was established in 1962 by a group of men who had $10.66 and the
    belief that there should be a good, Christian place for the elderly to live and receive
    care. The Christian Nursing Home opened in Lincoln, Illinois, in 1965. Over the next
    30 years, the ministry of Christian Homes grew.  Communities and services were
    expanded to include specialized services like Memory Care for residents with
    Alzheimer's disease, and rehabilitative therapy programs.

    With communities in 15 locations in 4 states, over 2,300 employees, and over 2,200
    residents, Christian Homes is the nation's 4th largest not-for-profit provider of
    healthcare services to the elderly. Christian Homes has over 1600 Medicare and
    Medicaid certified skilled nursing-care beds, over 150 assisted-living apartments,
    and over 500 independent living apartments and garden homes to meet the growing
    needs of senior adults.
