The Council of Churches of the Ozarks (CCO), is a faith-based 501(c)3 serving Southwest Missouri since 1969. 

Its mission is to improve the quality of life of our most vulnerable neighbors by doing together what can best be done together in the name of Jesus Christ.

With wrap-a-round support services available through multiple outreach programs, the Council meets community needs affecting infant to elder. As an extension of churches from a variety of denominations and backgrounds, CCO has been inspiring hope for families, children, seniors and adults for more than fifty years.
