Overview

Mission

The purpose of the organization is to operate and function as a ministry in all its religious, charitable and educational dimensions. The vision of the ministry is to win the lost, revive the church, and strengthen the family.

What it reported doing in 2024

Craig church ministries' purpose is to revive the church, restore the family, and rescue this generation. Ccm accomplished this in a concise manner by the proclamation of god's word through revivals, international haiti crusades, prison ministry, sporting events (reaching the unchurched), supply preaching, periodic broadcasting of the gospel through trans world radio. We have implemented a studio in our new office (1600 stokes street, wilkesboro, nc 28697), where ccm can proclaim the gospel message using audio and video to send out through all forms of media outlets (facebook, twitter, radio, etc.). We continue to show the love of jesus christ to the less fortunate by meeting basic needs ( as we can) through our compassion ministry. We also continued an outreach called faithfest. Faithfest is an annual community christian festival. The mission is to use worship music (in a variety of genres) and the proclamation of the word of god to unite believers, save the lost, bring a community togetherand spark a revival that will change lives in our area and beyond. We had several thousand in attendence and hundreds saved to the glory of our lord jesus christ.
