This is my home church 🩷 Great place to worship and always a great message from Pastor Larry! The serve team here makes you feel so welcome and loved 🩷 This isn't a church, it is a family 🩷 There are 3 services every Sunday 8:30, 10 or 11:30am. There is an awesome children's ministry downstairs during service with several rooms for each age group and they have so much fun 🩷 Allegiant youth group for grades 6 to 12 is Sunday evenings from 6 to 8. They eat, play games, worship and then hear a great message from Pastor Adam or Pastor Bekah and then break out into small groups 🩷 What a great family church! So many connect groups to choose from as well. MomCo, Journey, Hurt 2 Healed, Overcomers Recovery, and so many more! There is something for everyone here! Plus there is free delicious coffee on Sunday mornings 😋 Pastor Larry always says to "come as you are". There is no condemnation here. Just love ❤️

Amazing church. All I felt was love from the moment I walked in. I discovered Jesus here in a way I never knew I could. Pastors and staff are friendly and engaging and down right amazing. This is a church that will lead you to God and love while you are on your journey no matter what you are going through. There is peace and love and acceptance here like I never experienced. Please visit this church if you are looking for a place to belong.

Overall the church is growing that back near the end of September 2024 they had decided to move to three services eight thirty, ten o’clock and eleven thirty making it more stable to meet the growing families needs. There’s so many people that you actually should get into a small group to feel the togetherness. So many opportunities & the youth program there is out of this world. Roscoe ~ Pics4yinz

Ever been to a church and felt out of place? Judged? Me too! We all have. But CLC is full of people who are kind, accepting and just wanna show you the heart of the father. I love that i can dress up or wake up late and show up in sweats!!! No one cares what you look like! You will see the heart of God here!
