REACH:
REACH WIDE
The Gospel is for EVERY person, and salvation is received the same way for all: BY FAITH THROUGH GRACE. We reach wide because this is what Jesus did and what He continues to do. Reach is an active word, not passive. CLC isn’t something we attend; it is a place to belong that is actively on the mission with Jesus. We believe every life is welcome at the foot of the cross. (1 Timothy 2:4; Acts 15:6-11, 19-21; Luke 15; Mark 2:16-17).

TEACH:
BUILD STRONG 
Jesus made His mission clear: as we reach people with this Good News, we also make them disciples. We celebrate decisions, but we are passionate and committed to make disciples. This is why we teach, train, and equip people to BE THE CHURCH, not just go to church. To be strong in the mission that Jesus invites us into, we must build people who are strong in their faith. Biblical literacy matters. Prayer matters. Generosity matters. Healthy families and marriages matter. Bringing life in Jesus to a post-Christian secular society matters. This all takes equipping and building. Our goal isn’t to build CLC big, our goal is to build the people of CLC big. We want to make disciples of Jesus who know how to make other disciples of Jesus. (Matthew 28:18-20; Jude 3, 20; Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Timothy 2:2)

SEND:
LOVE & SERVE
To Jesus followers, love isn’t a recommendation. Love is a mandate. A church that doesn’t love ceases to be a church – because its purpose is to reveal and embody the love of God to the world. We don’t settle for only loving others in the church (though this is required and the path toward unity – see John 17). We understand that we are called to love the world. This is why we believe in the mission of Jesus both local and global. Imagine loving a city so well that there is no other answer except: Jesus must be real. Let’s make that happen. This is why the VALES of CLC are so important. It is a vital part of how we are going to love the world that Jesus has placed us in. (John 3:16-17; Matthew 22:34-40; John 13:34-35; 1 Corinthians 13).
