Our Pastor - Jeff Good

The term that I feel most comfortable with in describing my responsibilities is "pastor". A pastor is a shepherd who is called by God to help keep the people in a church attentive to God. I enjoy this quote, "the biblical fact is that there are no successful churches. There are, instead, communities of sinners, gathered before God week after week in towns and villages all over the world. The Holy Spirit gathers them and does his work in them. In these communities of sinners, one of the sinners is called pastor and given a designated responsibility… to keep the community attentive to God."(Eugene Peterson)

I am also called by God to take the lead in setting the course for the
church, develop leaders, help others get plugged into places of service, and
see that no dangerous teaching is tolerated.

I was born in the great state of Indiana. My parents moved to Arlington VA in my 2nd year of life where I went to through 3rd grade. It was during this time in my life that I realized I had broken God's standards and that I needed a savior. I asked Jesus Christ to be my savior when I was 9 years old.

We moved to Falls Church VA in my 4th grade year and finished high school there as well. My parents are Amos and Jo Good and I have an older brother and a younger sister. I was married to Cindy in 1983 and these years of marriage have been a great blessing from God. In 1993 God blessed us with a wonderful daughter named Charis and in 2002, God walked us through an amazing adoption process with our second daughter, Anna.

I attended Huntington college in Indiana and graduated with a degree in Christian Education in 1979. I completed a Master of Divinity degree from Capitol Bible Seminary in 1989. I enjoyed 13 years of student ministry as a staff member at Cherrydale before becoming the pastor of Christ Community Church in 1995.

Sports and music have been two of my biggest hobbies. Baseball being my first love of sports. Golf has now taken it's place as a close second. Running has become a regular pastime with completing the Marine Corp Marathon in 1989 a personal triumph.

I love my God, I love my family, and I love being a pastor who walks with people as God shows up in our lives. I can't think of anything else that I would rather be doing.

Hi, I’m Ryan. I’m married to my high school sweetheart Elizabeth and we have one crazy baby boy, Jackson. we’ve been married for 8 years. I graduated from James Madison University in 1999 with a Biology degree (kind of went a different direction don’t ya think?). I’m currently enrolled at Denver Seminary pursuing a Master of Divinity degree. I have been the youth pastor at CCC since February of 2004. I like to hike, hunt, fish – anything that is outdoors or in the woods. I also love the beach, especially our favorite getaway – Ocracoke Island, North Carolina.
