TO REACH THIS AND THE NEXT GENERATION FOR CHRIST

We are blessed to live in a time of great opportunity for the church. Dynamic, creative ministries are happening now in our congregation and will continue to be developed as we bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to this changing world.

Facilities designed to enhance exciting ministry programs are crucial for CLC to remain relevant and continue growing in service and mission. This renovation plan will move CLC into a new era of ministry.

Daily opportunities for kids and families will expand. Technology, room design and secure check-in will make this an exciting, contemporary ministry space.

Youth Ministry space will be a destinationA dedicated area for youth just steps from the high school, with decor and furnishings will provide a safe, welcoming place for Senior High youth in our community to gather in small or large groups after school and big games.
