Pastor Mike and Mary Banas Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:38:59 MST http://www.clcfamily.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=21 http://www.clcfamily.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=21&article_id=33 Our motto at Community Life Church is “Reaching People & Building Community.” Joining a Life Group is a way for members and attenders of CLC to connect with each other and build community within the church. When you join a Life Group, you meet with a smaller group of people from the church on a weekly basis, and build lasting friendships. If you want to get plugged in and develop relationships with others, then join a Life Group! We believe that sustained life change occurs when we are growing in our relationship with Christ and with others. Our Life groups provide people with the opportunity to connect with others, grow in their relationship with Christ, and experience community. We have been on Summer Break from Life Groups, but our Fall Semester starts in SEPTEMBER! Stay tuned for more information on dates and times of each group. For more detailed information on Life Groups click on our FAQ page. If you have specific questions or would like to be a Life Group leader, please email Adrian Olivares.

I'm so excited that you stumbled onto our student ministry page. We're still working on it, but hopefully you'll get a feel for who we are and what we're doing here. The student ministry of Community Life Church is a mix of high schoolers and middle schoolers coming together to grow in relationship with one another and with God! We meet every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at Community Life Church for what we like to call StraightUp. This is a time to eat of course, have fun and get real with each other as we learn what God has to say about our lives. Our desire is for StraightUp to be the most accepting place a student can find. We want to "out-accept" the alternative. Come and be a part of what God is doing with our students! Contact us at 972-562-6100 or email us at straightup@clcfamily.com See you Wednesday night!!

We believe healthy marriages breed healthy families and that healthy marriages will attract the world around us to Jesus Christ. That's what drives CLC's passion and commitment to healthy marriages. CLC has couples that have been through the Marriage Mentors training and they are prepared and committed to walk alongside a couple to prepare them for marriage, to help them enrich their marriage, or to help restore a marriage in crisis. If you are intersted in knowing more about Marriage Mentors, contact us and a Pastor will set up a time to meet with you and explain the commitment involved with the Marriage Mentors process. marriagementors@clcfamily.com.. Marriage Mentors exists to assist churches in strengthening their church body by strengthening the marriages of their congregation. Understanding the union of marriage is one man and one woman in a covenant relationship with God, our ministry's primary objective is to train and equip staff and key lay persons in churches across America and beyond to become effective Marriage Mentors. Because we feel the marriage relationship will never become what God intends until both the husband and wife seek to become the individuals He desires them to become, we are continually developing new resources designed to grow husbands and wives toward spiritual maturity, thus helping every married couple enjoy God's abundant blessings for their marriage. www.marriagementors.com Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:56:50 MST http://www.clcfamily.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=59 http://www.clcfamily.com/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=59&article_id=681 Community Life Church considers children and children’s ministry an enormous gift and responsibility.
