Cathedral Cares
When life gets heavy, community shows up. Cathedral Cares exists to meet practical needs: groceries, essentials, and a hand extended without judgment. Because refuge isn't just a word here. It's what we do.

Our Mission
Building a refuge for the city.
Community Cathedral of Refuge (CCR) is a Christ-centered ministry located in Augusta, Georgia, committed to serving the community through worship, outreach, and practical support. Our mission is to be a place of covering, healing, and hope for individuals and families. Through initiatives like Cathedral Cares, transportation support, and powerful teaching, we are building a refuge for the city.
Augusta, Georgia is a city of strong roots, rich faith, and real need. It's a city that has given the world champions and a city where too many of its own people are still searching for covering, healing, and hope. Community Cathedral of Refuge isn't here by accident. We believe God has called us to this city, to this street, and to this moment. CCR exists to be a refuge not just for those who already know where to turn, but for the ones who haven't found their way yet.
