50

YEARS

of transformation

Gospel. Church. Vision.

These are core to who we are.

Gospel

In 1971, four CCO staff members reached out to students at five campuses within 200 miles of Pittsburgh, PA. In 2021, more than 300 staff and associates are reaching students on nearly 140 campuses across the United States.

Church

Since the very beginning, the CCO has been committed to connecting college students to the Church, setting them up to be life-long disciples of Jesus Christ.

Vision

For five decades, the CCO has been introducing and fostering within college students a vision for how they might serve Jesus Christ with their entire lives.

"Being involved in the CCO’s ministry opened up my whole college experience. I grew in my relationship and view of God, in my understanding of what God is doing in the world, and how God was calling me to be me in the world."

Barb Blandino

“The CCO’s ministry made me understand that my faith in Jesus Christ did permeate every area of life. It helped me to understand that it needed to affect my whole life.”

Mark Greenlee

“[CCO staff member] Brad Frey encouraged us to think seriously about the implications of our faith in terms of what we were learning in the classroom that day and how we would live our lives in the future.”
