About the CCO

The Coalition for Christian Outreach is an interdenominational campus ministry organization. Our mission is “transforming college students to transform the world.” The CCO partners with colleges, churches and organizations to develop men and women who live out their Christian faith in every area of life.

The CCO is unique in our regional focus, our ministry cooperatives, and our discipleship model. 

  • Regional Focus. We focus our ministry in the mid-Atlantic region (Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, parts of New York and the Greater Washington DC area). This region boasts the highest concentration of college students in the United States.

  • Ministry Cooperatives. In this region, we set up cooperative ministries with churches and educational institutions. The CCO provides well-trained staff to these partners and creates unique ministries on campuses and in churches—ministries that embrace the vision of both the CCO and our cooperative partners.

  • Unique Discipleship Model. The goal of these cooperative ministries is for CCO staff to go and make disciples of Jesus Christ on college campuses. We believe that Jesus changes lives. We mentor our students into lifestyles that focus on Jesus Christ as Lord of every aspect of their lives. We believe that all things belong to God. Therefore, we are training this generation to be God’s transformative agents to redeem all of creation for His glory. Our students are equipped to make real change in the world for the sake of Jesus Christ.

 

The Region the CCO Serves

The tri-state area of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia has an unusually high concentration of colleges and universities. There are 432 schools with 1,217,032 total students in this region.     Bob’s area of responsibility will be Northern Ohio, where 83 of these schools exist.

 

Christianity Today’s “The 40 Best Christian Places to Work” rated CCO #1 in their category, “Churches, Parachurches, and Missions (120 or more employees)” (this is our fourth straight year winning in our category)!
