Community Christian Church
Coming up on its third birthday, Community Christian Church in White Marsh, Maryland is averaging 700 in three weekly services.
David Robinson, lead pastor, is a former youth ministries leader at Mountain Christian Church, in Joppa Maryland. Ryan Arnold was added as a student minister in 2007. More recently, Nic Cox was hired to oversee small groups and spiritual formation. Since his arrival the church has seen a 15% increase in adult involvement. Children’s ministries are lead by Nick Blevins.
Community Christian is the first "daughter" church planted in recent years in the Northeast. The church was "birthed" by Mountain Christian Church, in Joppa, Maryland, and Fork Christian Church in Fork, Maryland. Avoca Christian Church in Bristol, TN and New Life Christian Church outside of Washington DC were also instrumental in the church’s formation. Orchard Group has been the other partner in getting the new church underway.
Community Christian plans on becoming a multi-site congregation with Dundalk, Maryland as a possible site for a second campus. Joey Keck, who is outreach pastor, lives in the Dundalk area and has been working with a core group there. Already reaching out into the community, the church held a “Trunk or Treat” event in October in both White Marsh and Dundalk. The event served more than 4000 people.
