Each week, CCM serves over 100 students through consistent programming at our Chamblee site, made possible by a dedicated team of approximately 50 volunteers alongside staff leadership.After School Academic Support and TutoringDuring the school year, CCM provided after school homework assistance and tutoring multiple days each week at our Chamblee site. Students received help completing assignments along with tutoring support in reading, English, and math. In addition to group support, select students received one on one tutoring to strengthen literacy and language skills.Bible Clubs and DiscipleshipCCM provided weekly Bible clubs for children at our Chamblee site, including a Kindergarten Bible club and Bible clubs for elementary students. These clubs create a consistent space for children to learn Scripture, hear the Gospel, and grow in Christian character. Discipleship for older students also included Bible study and mentoring for high school students, led by volunteer leaders and supported by staff.High School Youth DevelopmentCCM supported high school students through Bible study, mentoring, and opportunities to grow in leadership and service. Programming emphasized spiritual formation, character development, and practical life skills, while helping students grow in confidence and responsibility.Summer Learning and EnrichmentDuring the summer, CCM provided structured learning opportunities to support continued reading growth. Programs included reading focused sessions for elementary students and early literacy support for younger readers. CCM also partnered with local churches for summer enrichment experiences such as Vacation Bible School, with staff and volunteers helping students participate.Mentoring, Leadership Development, and Student Scholarship FundCCM intentionally invests in selected high school students by training and supporting them to serve as mentors and leaders with younger children in our programs. These student leaders assist with age appropriate activities, encouragement, and support in the learning environment, gaining valuable leadership experience and a heart for service.Through CCMs Student Scholarship Fund, the ministry also provides scholarship support to help students pursue future education. This year, two students are currently attending university with the help of CCM funding, and three additional high school students are active participants in the Student Scholarship Fund support pipeline as they prepare for their next steps after graduation.
