The CCC’s Purpose is...
to respond to the essential interconnectedness of all Cache Valley’s residents.
to dispel myths related to our various faiths and/or ethnicity.
to encourage and support community activities that are, by their very nature, religiously and culturally unifying.
to engage in educational activities designed to increase community awareness of and respect for religious and cultural diversity.
to share our experiences in the CCC with the larger community of children, youth and adults.
