• CCC was the perfect fit for our family when our kids were small.  There’s way more to the story, but the community’s willingness to care for our kid’s food allergies in a way that made us comfortable made it so easy to join in and be part of it.  In short, we were loved. I want CCC to continue to be that community that was so welcoming for us when we wanted to be part of a church family.

• I love that CCC has been a support for me and grown with me through every stage of my life from VBS and Sunday School through Youth Group and CHIC, to being a parent and youth group leader, and now a member of the Leadership Team. Church is one of the few places where intergenerational relationships flourish and I feel that is so important to understanding God’s love for us all and giving us perspective about our place in the world.

Ron MacTaylor

• Position on Leadership Team: At Large
• Hometown: North Reading, MA
• Hobbies/Interests: Family Fun (game nights, concerts- with offspring directing or performing), walks and playing with my puppy, I enjoy reading a range of genres of books from Salem Public Library
• For as long as I have known CCC, we have enjoyed a community that has a broad age / life experience range. Conversation and activities can include young children from young families, teens with still young parents, that wide range of “middle aged” folks, and wonderful seniors, some of whom are grandparents or great-grandparents. It is actually pretty rare in regular life experiences, even in many church settings, to have such a range.  We are very fortunate. That said- my most fulfilling experiences at CCC have been working side-by-side with these same people in Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Mexico Missions Trips, Choir, and Leadership Team. I’d love to see CCC thriving and providing these intergenerational opportunities to even more / new folks.
