Campus Crusade for Christ was founded by Bill Bright in 1951. His vision was to reach out to college students and communicate clearly the amazing love of Jesus Christ. As students lives were transformed, they would want to share about this amazing relationship with others on their campus and wherever they went. And Bill, along with his wife Vonette, would mentor and equip them to do just that. 

Bill Bright's original vision is still the heart of Campus Crusade for Christ. But today it's more than just college students. CCC staff are reaching almost every corner of the world. There are 26,000 staff in 190 or more countries. There are ministries that reach out to prisons, youth, athletes, families, and victims of natural disasters among others. But the Campus Crusade's college ("Campus") ministry is still the largest.

Our team in Charlotte is part of this "Campus Ministry." We want to trust God to use us to impact the lives of every student almost 30 schools in the Charlotte Metro area. That is about 80,000 students! This is definitely a God-sized task that our staff team cannot do alone. We need students that want to make a difference. Our desire is to pour our lives into students and help them reach their campus with the love of Christ. And we are starting to see it happen all over our area! Please let us know if you would like to have a part in what God is doing in the lives of college students in the area.
