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: Distribution of Resources
Redistribution brings new skills, new relationships, and new resources and puts them to work
to empower community residents to bring about healthy transformation.
Reconciliation: Bridging People
CCD is intentional about reconciliation and works hard to bridge people of all races and
cultures.
