About Christ Central Ministries
“From construction to Kingdom — building lives, not just walls.”
Our Origins
Christ Central Ministries began in August 1992 as Inner City Ministry, answering the call to confront homelessness and poverty in Columbia, SC. What started as a local outreach blossomed into a statewide movement of compassion and transformation. In May 1997, we officially became Christ Central Ministries, expanding our reach while deepening our mission: to offer hope through Christ.

Our Mission
We believe poverty is not just a financial issue — it’s a spiritual and relational one.
That’s why we don’t just treat symptoms.
We research the root causes of poverty, then partner with churches, schools, businesses, government agencies, and everyday people to respond with wisdom, integrity, and love.
​
This is our godly response:
To meet both physical and spiritual needs — and to walk with people as they rebuild their lives.
About
Our Structure
In 2004, former contractor Jimmy Jones left the construction industry to answer a higher calling. Today, he serves as Founder and CEO of Christ Central Ministries, reporting to a committed Board of Directors and overseeing day-to-day operations, leadership development, and outreach strategy.

Looking Ahead
Our story is still being written. With every person served, every meal shared, and every life transformed, we get one step closer to our vision:
A state — and a world — transformed through Christ-centered service.
