    • About Us

    In 1993, a coalition of pastors agreeing that their community would experience a more significant impact with a unified effort founded Central Detroit Christian Community Development Corporation (CDC). The coalition initially developed four focus areas—youth programming, job training and development, housing, and meeting the direct needs of the community. Programming started the following year, in 1994.

    Our vision is this,

    “Once again, men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets, each of them with a cane in hand because of their age, telling stories to one another. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.” Zachariah 8:4–5

    Through education, employment, and economic development, our mission is to support individuals in reaching their highest potential while transforming the community into a place of Shalom—peace and wholeness. Our community-based approach means most staff and at least one-third of the board members live in the community.
