Why?

It always makes sense to ask Why before doing anything.

While so much has changed in the last 37 years since we became a Marketplace Ministry and Business, one thing that hasn’t is the need for us as believers to find, connect and serve one another and we are dedicated to this purpose.

Why CCC?

You have so many choices in marketing your business.

We are a marketing company of believers, because of beliers and for believers.

We always do everything we can to keep costs down and do our doing our very best to provide all that we can to help Christian business owners and professionals succeed at a higher level.

We are very competitive in everything we offer by design.

Larger marketing companies and agencies are not necessarily better because they are bigger, just more expensive.

Our Vision

is to have an impact for Jesus Christ by adding value to peoples lives through building relationships and encouraging Christian Professionals and Business Owners to live out their faith both at home and at work.

Our Mission

is to promote and help Christian Business Owners and Professionals grow their businesses by helping them reach new customers and clients as well as each other in the marketplace using Online, Print, Social-Media Marketing, Networking Connections Events, and Weekly Connections Newsletters.

Our Statement of Faith is Simple

We believe in God and His Son Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit as He lives and breathes in us as believers and we should strive to act like it in every area of our lives and relationships and that includes our work and for many of us our businesses as professionals in the marketplace.

When we say act like it, it's not an act as many would think, it's being who we are in Jesus Christ and becoming more like him everyday of our lives. We believe that's what the scripture means when it encourages us to be conformed to the image of Christ.

It was once quoted that "if everyone is thinking alike, then someone's not thinking and we believe it.

We believe in every word of scripture as the inerrant word of God who knew each of us before we were formed in our mothers womb and created for a purpose but we don't believe any person ever living or dead understood or understands the perfect word of God perfectly. We all are human beings that were wonderfully made in His image but we are still human beings.

Here's what we are trying to live up to:

It's what Jesus wanted as he prayed for all of us as believers

John 17:17-21 NIV

17 Sanctify them by^[^a^] the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

We love and appreciate each one of you, Kenton.

IT's SIMPLE. Here's the Basic Idea.

Why Right to Life of Indiana and all of the Affiliates across this Nation?

Why

In a day when so many are calling for social justice, the question looming in the background is: why does social justice even matter? Why does it matter if we respect others? Why does it matter if the strong crush the weak? Why does it matter if human life has no built-in, hardwired value? Why do lives, born or unborn, matter? Why do lives of any color matter? Why does it matter if you and I, or anyone else on the planet, have no real value?

This is where worldviews and real life collide. It’s one thing for six out of ten people to say life has no value. But that all changes when our lives are attacked, manipulated, or destroyed. Then it matters. It matters to all of us.

Why?

Because we are made in the image of God. Deep inside, at our core, even when we deny it, we all still matter because we are all made in the image of God. To many in our world today, this is a foreign concept. For all of us who are followers of Christ, it is an unshakeable truth that must be at the center of how we view and treat others. The beauty of Psalm 139 applies to everyone: the rich, the poor, the lonely, the hurting, the disenfranchised, the trafficked, the unborn, and to all people of all colors.

There are no exceptions. God’s word tells us we are all fearfully and wonderfully made. What a radical concept. How our world would change for the better if we all shared this truth and lived it out in our daily lives. We have the answer the world needs. Now we just need to stand together and deliver.

Mike Fichter is President and CEO of Indiana Right to Life and Host of the LoveX2 Podcast heard on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Indiana Right to Life is a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring and protecting the Sanctity of Life. We seek to educate the public on the issues of abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia and to move our culture back to a respect for life created in the image of God. We are a state-level affiliate of the National Right to Life Committee.

We primarily serve Indiana but have increasingly engaged in projects that are having a national and international impact. Indiana Right to Life is represented by county and regional affiliates around the state.

We are funded by donations from individuals and private foundations.

Why Lifewise Academy?

We believe that LifeWise Academy is the absolute best chance we have to turn our nation back to how our founding Founders created our nation, as a nation under God. It begins and ends with our kids and our education. What have our kids been taught in our Public schools in the last 50 years. We allowed legislation to start kicking God out of school in 1962 and it's taken time but it's worked. Lifewise is the only organization we know of that is inviting God back in Schools with a Supreme Court Ruling and a System that sets up Elective Bible Courses During School Hours off of School Property that's Privately Funded and meets all of the rules to make it happen. Want to have an influence on our nation for your kids and grandkids? Go to Lifewise.org and help us at Christian Community Connect and every other Organization, Ministry, Church, Business and Individuals out there that get it help make this happen. As Pastor Wayne Murray loves to say at Grace Assembly of God, no one can do everything but everyone can do something.

Joel Penton is the Founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, a program that provides Bible education to public school students during school hours. Since its launch in 2019, LifeWise has quickly grown to serve more than 100 schools across the U.S. each week. Nearly 14,000 students attend a LifeWise program and receive a Bible class as part of their public school day.

Joel’s 15-year career as a nonprofit entrepreneur has been marked by the relentless pursuit of impacting students. He honed this skill playing defensive tackle at The Ohio State University where he relentlessly pursued quarterbacks for the Buckeye’s national championship football team. In his senior year at OSU, Penton received the Danny Wuerffel trophy, known as the “Humanitarian Heisman,” which is awarded to one college football player each year for outstanding community service.

Upon graduating, Joel founded Stand For Truth and Relevant Speakers Network, a speakers’ bureau that has touched more than 3,000 public schools and 2 million students nationwide. As a public speaker, Joel has presented to more than 2,000 live audiences and over 1,000,000 people across the country. He is also the author of three books including DURING SCHOOL HOURS: Why and How LifeWise Academy is Reinstalling Religious Education into the Public School Day.

Joel Penton lives in Columbus, Ohio with his wife, Bethany, and their five children, where they all enjoy telling stories at the dinner table, watching sci-fi movies, and playing full-contact monkey in the middle.
