Why Discipleship?
“We are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” (Eph. 4:15)
On our life’s journey, we all can encounter roadblocks, obstacles or uncertainties, as we try to move forward. We want to help you map out a course past those barriers that will propel you to your destination. After attending one of our weekend worship services, your next step at Christian Life Center is to participate in a growth group or class. Offered on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, these groups and classes will help you experience growth in your relationship with God and each other.
Midweek – A Night for the Whole Family!
