Terrell L Murphy, City Dive, Inc. founder, through best practice exploration chose to base the fundamental principles of the organization on a philosophy with proven success. Christian Community Development (CCD) has a phenomenal track record with over 600 models across the country making great progress in at-risk communities.

The following provides a high level overview of this concept.

Relocation: Living Among the People

In order to understand the real problems facing the inner-city, you must live in the environment to look for real solutions. Currently, New Birth-Charlotte has approximately 25 members residing in the 28208 zip code (or targeted community) and plans to relocate others.

Redistribution brings new skills, new relationships, and new resources and puts them to work to empower community residents to bring about healthy transformation.

CCD is intentional about reconciliation and works hard to bridge people of all races and cultures.
