About CLC – Christ Led Communities

  • Christ-Compelled – Jesus is our focus. All is for His glory. We are under His Lordship.

  • Biblically Anchored –The Bible is the authority. What we do flows from revealed Truth.

  • Relationally Driven – Relationships are the foundation of all we do.

  • Long-Term Discipleship – This is our calling. Individual transformation is our prayer.

  • Exponential Impact – The impact of one man transformed by Christ is experienced in his marriage, family, church, workplace, community and eternity.
