WHO WE SERVE ON A LOCAL LEVEL:
Crestview Elementary: Crestview School of Communications is a special blessing for Castleton Christian Church. God has chosen to locate the school and CCC side by side that we might reach out and serve our close neighbors. Some of the ways we enjoy serving Crestview is through an annual back-to-school supply drive, assistance with Christmas gifts for students and their siblings, food for families and volunteer staffing at school events.
The Sharing Place: The Sharing Place provides food for families in an eleven zip codes in Marion and Hancock Counties, Indiana. Castleton Christian Church has actively partnered with LCFS for a number of years to serve families visiting The Sharing Place. In addition to financial support, CCC’s participation includes shopping volunteers, regular food donations & The Christmas Store.
