CLACHURCH.COMGatherbecause of Christ’s resurrection.Christianity cannot be lived in isolation. We gather because it unites our hearts in onecommon belief in Jesus Christ. As we celebrate together, we sing, pray, hear God’s Wordand regularly participate in the Lord’s Supper and baptism as instructed in the New Testament.We meet to encourage each other to live out our faith as we are sent out.Growbecause of Christ in us.The Bible tells us in Colossians 1:27 that Christ in you is the hope of glory! How couldwe not be transformed when God lives in us? As we grow in our awareness of God’spresence in and through us, our lives reflect Him in even greater ways. We’re all calledto growth, and growth happens best together.Servebecause of Christ’s sacrifice.Christ’s own sacrifice compels us to get out of our own story and into the story ofothers. Jesus calls us to serve and not sit, to sacrifice our personal time, gifts and resourcesto see others transformed by the gospel. We lead and are not just led, we feedand are not just fed. We find meaning and purpose in choosing to serve.Gobecause of Christ’s love.We are compelled to reach out because of Christ’s love within us. At the heart of amissional church is the desire to bring Christ into our sphere of influence, to be the saltof the earth and a light on a hill. Yet, it does not stop there. CLA has a special call toour nation and world. We pray, we love, we give, we represent Christ here and globally.5
