The CCO and the Skinner Leadership Institute have a common vision for advancing the Kingdom of God on earth through young people. The college campus is the place where young people are nurtured and developed, either in the ways of Christ or in the ways of the world. The CCO has a long history of doing the work of developing young people well, and it just makes sense to partner with people and organizations who share your vision and execute it with excellence.
Dr. Barbara Williams-Skinner
President of the Skinner Leadership Institute
I don’t know of any other ministry group with a presence at Penn State Altoona like the CCO. There are other groups and denominations represented on campus, but they are all very part-time. CCO staff are there, interacting with students all the time—in Bible studies and fellowship groups and in one-on-one mentoring times. I am constantly impressed and amazed by the depth of dedication, intelligence, faith and giftedness of the CCO staff who serve here, and of those candidates who are now interviewing to be here next year. They are all such quality people. Our only regret is that we can only afford to hire one!
Mr. Don Shumaker
President of Altoona Collegiate Outreach
