life groups

we are better together

discipleship

We encourage everyone who calls this their local church family to find discipleship, biblical foundations, and growth around an intimate group of believers. Life Groups help us mature into our place in the body of Christ. 

Fellowship

Every believer was created to belong to a community. Life groups are one of the best ways to find a deeper connection to one another and become an active part of CLF Church.
