"My desire is to motivate students to discern God's plan for their lives; and no matter what their social status, past, or existential plight may be to let them know that Central Christian College is a place you can come as you are but you won't stay as you are. I believe experiences without growth is worthless and CCC offers learning experiences that changes lives."
