chrysalis community development agency 

CCDA, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, was established by the Sanctuary Covenant Christian Fellowship with a shared vision to impact children and families within our community. We believe that our community's active participation and support are the driving forces behind our success.

​

In 2017, the church began to work with Butler County ESC programs, SUCCESS, Help Me Grow, Early Intervention, and Early Head Start assisting them in serving over 500 families. We also created a new program, Mary's Helping Hands, which networked with various other community agencies to meet the needs of their clients. 

 

Mary's Helping Hands is named after both of our pastor's mothers.

The only one of its kind in Butler County, MHH works diligently to meet the needs of struggling families. We found that collaboration and networking were important keys to servicing our community where the lack of transportation is a major challenge to clients receiving services.

​

Although we are located in Butler County, no one is turned away. We service families in Hamilton, Preble, Warren and Montgomery Counties. In 2023, MHH distributed over 300,000 diapers and served over 250 children with clothes, coats and shoes.

​

In 2020, during the height of COVID, we added an umbrella for MHH - Chrysalis CDA - which had been a vision of the senior pastor for years. CCDA continues to expand to meet the needs of our diverse and growing community. 

 

Our vision is to enhance the quality of life for children and families by providing comprehensive services that address their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

​

Our mission is to use our hands to serve, our hearts to give,

our lives to empower,

all to envision a greater community.
