Finding the Right Church for Your Family is a Big Decision
We had many of the same questions you might have so here's everything you need to know about CLF so you and your kids feel comfortable and confident on your first Sunday.

What Other Families Say
We are so incredibly grateful for CLF! God has used this church body to do the miraculous in our family. He restored my marriage and brought our children into the Kingdom. From the very beginning, we were never treated like a number — we were welcomed into authentic fellowship, intentional discipleship, and a culture that truly values legacy. We are so thankful to have found a place that feels like home for our entire family.

We moved here in 2023 from Romania after my wife was praying and sensed God clearly say, “Zebulon.” Over time, we realized He was leading us here and ultimately to CLF. The past few years have been difficult for our family, but through it all, this church has stayed with us and walked alongside us. It isn't just a place to hear a good sermon but they actually care about people.

A Moment from our pastors
Hear From the Pastors
Rather than putting together a staged script, this spontaneous moment
from 2025 best describes the heart of our pastors and our church family.

More Than a Sunday Morning
"CLF has been more than a church to us — it’s where we built our life. I met my wife here. We were married here. We’re raising our kids here. Our marriage has grown stronger, and our kids are thriving in a community that truly cares. Families matter here. And when families grow, the church grows with them."
— Nelson Masinde, member since 2002
the real questions
You're probably wondering…
These are real questions we asked before visiting churches. We'll do our best to answer here, but these are conversation the leaders would love to have.
What background checks do you require for anyone working with children?
Are your leaders held accountable?
How will our family and marriage be supported?
What if we visit and decide CLF isn't the right fit for our family?
Come Say Hi!
We'll make sure you (and your family) don't feel strangers.
