The Role: Worship Pastor

Meet Christ Community Church:

Christ Community Church is a vibrant church in Beatrice, which is in the Southeast corner of Nebraska. We are a nondenominational church that is passionate about growing the kingdom of God in this part of Nebraska and beyond. 

We believe our great God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. We do this through sharing the Gospel whenever we have the opportunity. As people come to trust Jesus as their Savior, we are passionate about teaching them to love Him and to love each other. God has given us His Word to direct us on how to live our lives. He also gives us Himself as His Spirit teaches us how to grow in grace and in knowledge of Him. At CCC, we are one big family who loves to help and serve each other in a way that only a family can. CCC has been ministering to Beatrice and Southeast Nebraska for 30 years. Our mission statement and passion is to “Carry Christ to the Community.” We have a special heart for children and students that do not have a church to share the Gospel with them and show them love.
