Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Christian Contractors Association?

We are a faith-based organization of contractors and other construction industry professionals. Our mission is to use our God-given skills to serve and spread His word by helping people
of all races and creeds who are in emergency need.

What services do you provide?

We provide free emergency construction services to the widowed, elderly, and disaster victims. These services are completely free—the client never pays anything for them.

How are you able to provide these free services?

We are able to provide these services because individuals, organizations, and churches believe in what we do. We are funded through cash donations and rely on the voluntary services of our network of contractors of all trades and other construction professionals. Volunteers of various skills and ages are supervised by our missionary contractors. Materials are donated or purchased with donated funds. We also partner and coordinate our mission teams—in-kind services with various charitable agencies that provide funding to help reimburse our expenses.

How do I qualify for help?

As God provides the resources to CCA, anyone can receive help when facing an emergency involving repair or retrofit of a home and is unable to help themselves. Priority is given to widows and elderly in life-threatening situations caused by natural disasters or a personal crisis.

I have no funds and I need help now. I've called several community service organizations and they all refer me to you. Can you help me?

We will do our best to help those in emergency need. Our clients are helped by order of priority (the most severe needs first), not necessarily by the order in which calls are received.

I'm a caseworker from a community service agency and have several elderly patients in need. What services can you provide to groups like ours?

If you have a client who qualifies for your program, the CCA can partner with your agency by providing whatever construction service is necessary. Your agency provides CCA with the funds needed to help reimburse our expenses for these emergency services.

I am the pastor of a church and I have several widows in my congregation who need help. How can they apply to receive your services?

A CCA missionary will determine if the need is an emergency and prioritize accordingly. The person in need must call us themselves to request our services if able. CCA mission teams humbly request the church to provide prayer and financial support so that we may provide these free services.

Are you available to speak about CCA to our group?

Yes, we would be pleased to speak to your group. We have told our mission's story to large and small audiences, from governors' meetings to small church groups. We'd also be happy to bring literature and set up our information booth along with a media presentation.

I believe in your mission and would like to get involved. How do I begin?

You can start by becoming a member of CCA. Browse the Become a Member section of our website, call our headquarters for more information, or simply send a donation of any amount. If you have construction experience, office skills, or just a willing heart to serve others, you canbecome a volunteer.

I have some furniture and used building materials I would like to donate. How do I do this?

Call or Email our office , and we will arrange an inspection and pickup if we can use the furniture or materials. Sometimes we will give these donations directly to a needy family; other times we will sell the items in a public charity auction and use the proceeds to fund our missionary work and ongoing projects.
