Connect to CALLING

There’s a restlessness that comes when life feels empty, when each day blurs into the next without a sense of purpose. Maybe you’ve wondered, “Is there more to life than this?” That feeling of emptiness is a clue — it’s your heart longing for a calling.

God created you uniquely, with gifts, talents, and a specific role to play in His story.

Your calling isn’t just a job or a set of responsibilities — it’s about living with purpose and intention, knowing that your life has meaning because God has given it meaning.

When you connect with Him, you begin to see how He’s been guiding you all along, preparing you for something greater. That calling is waiting for you to discover it, and it starts with taking steps to live out your faith.

One of the most powerful ways to step into your calling is by serving. Serving others helps you see life from a new perspective, and as you pour into others, you’ll find that your own life is enriched. You’ll experience the fulfillment that comes from being part of something bigger than yourself - a community, a cause, a mission that matters.

Getting involved in the life of the church isn’t just about filling a role - it’s about finding a purpose that fills you. Whether you’re serving in kids ministry, helping with outreach, or joining a mission trip, you’re making an impact that reaches beyond your own life.

 In giving of your time and talents, you’ll discover more of who God created you to be. You’ll see how every act of service, no matter how small, plays a part in God’s greater plan. 

At CCC, there are countless opportunities to explore your calling. Whether it’s volunteering in a ministry, participating in a mission project, or helping out behind the scenes, there’s a place for everyone.

Not sure where to start? Talk to a pastor! We’ll help you find an area that fits your passions and strengths. God has something specific in mind for you, and we’re here to walk with you as you take the next steps in discovering it.

If you’re ready to live with purpose, to experience the joy and fulfillment of serving in a way that matters, the next step is easy. Pray for and seek out opportunities to give of yourself to others. As you begin to serve and engage in your calling, you’ll discover a deeper meaning to life because you’re part of God’s story - and there’s no greater calling than that.
