What people are saying
The men’s small group has been such a source of joy for me since I joined several months ago! The guys in the group quickly became my family and it’s such a close bond that we all share. It’s been a place to care for one another, lift each other up, and hold each other accountable, all as we seek to honor the Lord. It has been one of the most life giving groups of men that I have ever been a part of. It is always a shame when I have to miss a week, because honestly, Thursday night is my favorite night of the week! I highly recommend joining a small group for anyone who is on the fence! The transformative work that God does is absolutely incredible!

The group is our church family. There is an energy, a fellowship that is so wonderful. It reminds me of what community must have been like in the early church where people gathered in homes to break bread, be there for each other. We share successes and sorrows. We laugh together. And we cry together. I am so blessed to be part of this special family!
- Diane T.
When I first came to CL, my small group helped me feel like I belonged. That I was a part of this family.
It is something special to have a group of friends to walk through life with, the good and the bad. That is something this group has been for me. I also know I am always welcome in my leader's home- even if it's just popping in to say hello.
- Rebekah E.
I don’t attend a Small Group, I hang out with my Family every Wednesday, because that’s what they are- FAMILY. It allows me to reabsorb Gods word and fellowship in Him will all life’s ups and downs. And with our text group we know whenever someone is walking through ups and downs, there is someone praying for and with us.
