About

The CCDA Pacific Northwest Regional Network (CCDA PNW) is one of more than 20 local networks operating under the umbrella of the Christian Community Development Association.

The mission of the Christian Community Development Association is to inspire, train, and connect Christians who seek to bear witness to the Kingdom of God by reclaiming and restoring under-resourced communities.

Back Story of CCDA PNW

CCDA members in the Pacific Northwest came together in the Summer of 2020 to form a regional network. This regional network covers Alaska, Washington, Montana, Oregon, and Idaho. We also welcome people from California, Wyoming, the Dakotas, and nationwide.

CCDA PNW has signed an MOU with CCDA National that follows the guidelines that CCDA has set forth for member networks (click here for those guidelines).

The purpose of CCDA PNW is as follows: “To increase connections between local Christian Community Development practitioners to cultivate generative spaces for friendship, engage in mutual learning, and promote and equip CCD practice, to bring about greater local collaboration for community transformation.”
