How to Get Here
CCDA, Memphis truly wants you here. So many people from so many churches, ministries, and organizations have reached out to invite you that we’re having trouble keeping up.
We are ready for you. We want you to see the impact Christian Community Development has already made here. We want to join you in making this place even better. Ask any pastor or leader around the city and they will tell you. Memphis Loves CCDA!
On behalf of the City of Memphis, I invite you to contact me so we can get you here as soon as possible.
