:: Who Are We? ::

Our Organization

C3M Ministries, Inc. was started in early 2008 by Drs. Steve and Brooke Highlander as a platform to launch a variety of outreach ministries.  The Highlanders share a passion to see the Church of Jesus Christ  return to a New Testament expression of faith and practice.  In Early 2009 the ministry was incorporated as a non-profit ministry in the state of Missouri.  At that time C3M also joined Acts Ministry, Inc., Springfield, MO and obtained federal 501 (c) (3) non profit status through Acts Ministry group extension Letter from the IRS.
