Rod Atwood

Interim Chairman of the Board Interim Operations Director

Rod has spent more than a decade in the web design and hosting industry, building and maintaining digital infrastructure for businesses and organizations across the country as part of an established web services company.

A committed Christian and member of Southview Christian Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, Rod is the father of four children and grandfather to ten grandchildren — a man rooted in faith, family, and community.

While working in web services, Rod became increasingly aware of a profound gap: churches across Africa — some newly planted, others long established — had no meaningful online presence to reach the communities they existed to serve. Families were searching online for places to worship. Churches were invisible.

That realization became a calling. Christ's Mission Online was born to fill that gap — providing professional web design, web hosting, and targeted digital marketing at no cost to churches in Africa, all in service of one purpose: spreading the message of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to every corner of the continent.

Who We Are

Mission Statement

Matthew 28:19–20

Christ gave us the great commission — to go into all the world and make disciples of every nation. For Christ’s Mission Online, that calling is active, urgent. CMO equips churches across Africa with free, professional web design, web hosting, and digital marketing so that every congregation can be found by the families and communities they were planted to serve, making churches visible on the web and spreading the message of Jesus Christ.

Board of Directors

Positions to Be Filled

Christ's Mission Online is forming its board of directors. These servant-leaders will shape the direction of the organization as we grow our reach across Africa.

Position Open
Planning Director

The Planning Director will lead the development and presentation of operational strategies — including marketing direction, identification of geographic areas for outreach, and growth recommendations. This role shapes where CMO goes and how it gets there. Ideal candidates bring strategic thinking, a heart for missions, and experience in organizational planning or nonprofit management.

Position Open
Communications Director

The Communications Director will serve as the primary bridge between CMO and the communities we serve across Africa. This includes coordinating outreach communications, managing relationships with partner churches and pastors, and ensuring that every congregation we serve feels supported, heard, and connected to the broader CMO mission. Fluency in African regional contexts is a plus.
