At CLC we are committed to reaching out to other people and especially people in need. We do this in various ways through various groups within the congregation who have a specific focus to specific groups inside and outside of our congregational life. We also host many different groups that do outreach to people. We see the way we use our buildings as part of our Mission and Ministry as a congregation. Here are a listing of some of the Outreach Groups and Teams. For a monthly update on what is going on at CLC drop us a note and ask to be added to our monthly mailing list.
