LoveActs Ministries

At Christ Community Church, we believe love is more than a sentiment. We believe that to we truly love God and people we must put love into action, by serving the tangible needs of others as often as we can through our LoveActs Ministries. We love one another as Christ loves us. Below are some of the ministries within LoveActs. We truly appreciate partnering with others in the community who have a desire to serve. We believe that small acts done with great love can make a significant impact. If you, your church, or organization want to partner with us or you would like more information about any of these ministries, contact Nicole Gerbino, area leader for LoveActs.

Food Truck

CCC provides two tons of free food once per month to local families in need through our Food Truck ministry. On the first Thursday of the month from 3:00pm - 5:00pm from September – June. we distribute the food at Walker Elementary School, located in Mira Mesa. Any family who could use some help meeting their grocery needs is welcome to come out and receive food. Volunteers from the community can serve from 2:30pm - 5:00pm, helping to sort and distribute the food. It is a great way to help in our local community. We have had clubs, employer groups, and local organizations help in the past – it is a wonderful opportunity to serve together as a team or meet some new friends.
