John 4:23-24, “The time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The father is looking for anyone who will worship Him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

THREE REASONS WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY:

    1. We are to worchip.
    How do we worship? In spirit and in truth.
    Spirit - Because He is spirit and He is not confined to this building.
    Truth - Because when we connect with the Spirit of God we understand that He is truth.

    2. We are here to give.
    John Maxwell, “it takes team work to make the dream work.”
    Time - one of life’s greatest commodities. (Psalms 90:12)
    Treasure - (Romans 12:6-7) (Matthew 6:20-21)

    3. We are here to grow.

At CLC, we use the three E’s to clarify what we’re about:
    Exalt Jesus Christ
    Edify One Another
    Evangelize the Lost

Our motto is “A ministry to the entire family.”

There are two ways we must grow as a church:
1. Spiritually
2. Numerically

Apathy is the greatest church killer of all times.
