Our Story
The Cherokee County Christian Ministerial Alliance (CCCMA) was founded with a clear purpose: to unite local churches in Cherokee County, Oklahoma, and work together to love and serve our community. As a coalition of ministries, we believe that no one should face life’s challenges alone — and that the Gospel of Jesus Christ calls us to show up with both practical help and spiritual hope.
What We Do
Our Mission
We are committed to assisting those who are homeless, hurting, or in need of a fresh start. Whether it’s providing food, clothing, or shelter — or offering a listening ear and encouragement — we stand ready to meet the whole person, not just the moment. At the heart of our work is the conviction that physical needs and spiritual needs go hand in hand.
Food & Clothing — Ensuring those facing hardship have reliable access to nutritious meals and essential garments.
Shelter & Basic Care — Connecting individuals and families to safe places, resources, and pathways toward stability.
Gospel & Grace — Presenting the message of Jesus Christ respectfully, offering spiritual support alongside physical aid.
Partnerships — Working with service providers, churches, and volunteers to create a network of care that reaches further together.
Our Values
Compassion in Action: Every life has value. Every person we serve matters.
Faith-Rooted Service: We live out our faith by serving out of the love of Christ and sharing the good news.
Community Collaboration: We are stronger together. Local churches, service agencies, and volunteers partnering builds deep and lasting impact.
Dignity & Respect: We serve with humility, honoring the dignity of each individual and walking alongside, not above.
Hope and Renewal: Offering help today, trusting in transformation for tomorrow.
Why It Matters
As Scripture reminds us,
“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” — Proverbs 19:17.
And Jesus himself said,
“…whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40.Through CCCMA, the hands of the local Church extend into our community in tangible ways — offering hope when things look hopeless, offering connection when people feel isolated, and offering purpose when life feels stalled.
