CLCs are faith-based small groups where we can come together to talk about everyday life through the lens of faith. CLCs are grounded in three pillars: spirituality, community and mission. It is a wonderful way to build Christian community, practice Ignatian spirituality, and put your faith into action. We are meeting weekly on Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m. at the Water Tower Campus starting September 20th.  Sign up with the interest form here.
