The CCO invites college students to serve Jesus Christ with their entire lives.

We invite students to take a step toward Jesus Christ, deepening their understanding of His Good News.

We encourage students to help the world flourish through an intergenerational, multi-ethnic, international organization called the church.

We give students a vision for

serving Jesus Christ in their studies, jobs, communities, and families.

College Break

Join us every Wednesday evening for a break from college life with our Christian community, welcoming students all year long. Meet us at First EPC, Room 201, where our sessions rejuvenate both your spirit and soul. At 7 PM, embark on a journey through faith with our study sessions. At 8 PM, feel the power of collective prayer, and by 8:30 PM, relax with games that spark friendship and joy. Whether you’re searching for spiritual growth, a sense of belonging, or simply a break, our group embraces you with open arms.

Transforming college students to transform the world

SERVE

At CCO, we offer numerous service opportunities that foster community and spiritual growth. We host dinners for IUK sports teams at First EPC, creating spaces for fellowship and encouragement. We pray with the Mayor of Kokomo, supporting the flourishing of our city. We also celebrate student achievements by showcasing personal bests on a digital billboard in the fitness center. Join us in growing together through faith and service.
