Due to the fact that CCMCommunications relies soley on benefactors, grants, and endowments for anything other then basic operations, this project requires funding from external sources. With a price tag of over $300,000, we need all the help we can get - and we are appealing to you.
This page has been set up as a point of information for potential benefactors and organizations seeking a project to fund. Should you wish to find out how you can help, please contact us at the contact information below.
Thanks for your interest in helping to spread the Word!

Facilities Expansion
This project, the construction of a studio and expansion of the existing broadcast center, will better allow CCMCommunications to produce and syndicate it current productions. The multi-faceted project, which has already begun, includes the following elements:
- Expansion of Broadcast Operations Center, specifically the expansion of the Control Room (Control 1), tripling its size
- Expansion of Broadcast Operations Center, specifically the addition of a separate, acoustically treated and isolated audio operations room, part of the Control Room
- Expansion of Broadcast Operations Center, specifically the addition of an additional room, which will be used as OPTION 1: A Radio Recording Suite (Control 2), OPTION 2: An off-line editing suite, or OPTION 3: A Storage Facility
- Expansion of Broadcast Operations Center, specifically completing the last phase of a necessary equipment upgrade
- Expansion of the 2nd level Campus Ministry Center, above the Broadcast Operations Center, adding a multi-purpose room of roughly the same size as the basement expansion
- Expansion of the 2nd level Campus Ministry Center, above the Broadcast Operations Center, adding additional office space
- Construction of a dedicated Production Studio, incorporating sets, and a new lighting grid along with associated equipment
you do to help?
We are looking for benefactors, or foundations with endowments that center on community, broadcasting, the arts, or Evangelization. You can help us out yourself, or you can refer a Foundation to our project. The total price tag is in excess of $300,000, so we need your help to make this happen. Below are some resources that will give you the big picture of what we are trying to accomplish; resources that are designed for Endowments, Grants, and Foundations.
When the Chapel was first built, we did this as a fundraiser. Back in 1999, it was two color - and was pretty impressive. Now, 7 years later we have revisited the idea - and are now offering the Jesus Christ Prince of Peace Chapel Afghan in full color. All of the monies raised will go to the expansion project. Pictured below, right.
A huge part of the project is updating the production equipment, by adding new systems so that we can take full advantage of the new facilities. If you are a Communications or Broadcasting professional, you can donate some of your equipment stock - new or old - to help furnish the new facility. What may seem like old and outdates to you, may be exactly what we are looking for - so let us know if you have something you would like to donate. The letter is below, but you can contact us directly at myersr@wpunj.edu.
It must be a Jersey thing ... but it seems that everybody likes beefsteaks, right?
You can support us by attending our annual Beefsteak dinner at the Browstone, in Paterson, NJ. Sit, chat, and eat with all of the friends of Campus Ministry, and have a fun night of food, dance, and good company. All monies generated from the event also benefit the Expansion - so look for announcements as to time and date.
CCMCommunications was gotten to the place it is at now because of people like you - viewers and supporters. Through a network of sponsors, we have grown to broadcasting on 45 networks. We call these people our 'family', and they, and you, are responsible for our continued success. You may not think it makes a difference, but your donation no matter what size is part of making our expansion dream a reality.
