Journeying with people to a place of health and wholeness.
We are C3 Impact
About Us
C3 Impact is the umbrella for all Social Impact and Community outreach from The C3 Church. We deliver a number of projects and programmes to support people in the Church Community and the wider local community.
The main aim of Impact is to see people experience health and wholeness through physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs being met.
Galatians 6:9-10
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
