The Community Contact Center For Growth (3CG) is a non-profit organization that was officially founded in 2011. Through the vision of Pastor Jacob D. R. Johnson of The Growing Valley Baptist Church, 3CG was established with the sole purpose of putting the community first.
Upon seeing the vast needs of the diverse City of Lancaster and surrounding areas, Pastor Johnson was led to increase outreach with a more formal and focused plan. In order to better serve and expand outreach, Pastor Johnson led the charge in developing an organization that would allow the church to focus on the spiritual needs of the soul while a separate organization was crafted to specifically meet the needs of the community in areas where the church perhaps could not. In doing so, the new organization could operate independently working in cohort with other community organizations to make the Antelope Valley an even better place.

William Boarden
Lorrain Hines
Jody Hudson
Jacob D. R. Johnson
Sharon D. Johnson
