Welcome to the Christian Classics Ethereal Library!
Welcome to the CCEL! The mission of the CCEL is to build up the church by making classic Christian writings available and promoting their use.
Volunteer Discussion Group: The continued operation of the CCEL and its mission depend on the generous donation of time and resources by many volunteers. CCEL volunteers proofread books, write biographies, lead discussion groups, translate books, and a whole host of other tasks.
The CCEL has a volunteer discussion group with information designed to help individuals start volunteering for CCEL, to provide support and information to volunteers, and to provide a place for online discussion about various CCEL volunteer projects.
