DISCIPLESHIP VALUES

We believe a disciple is someone being transformed by Christ’s love to share His life with others.

The two active categories of that statement are being transformed and sharing life. The question to be answered is, “How would we be able to tell if someone is being transformed and sharing life with Jesus and others?”

We believe a disciple is Transformed by and Shares Life through: Gospel, Worship, Community, and Mission, which we have established as our 4 Discipleship Values. 

By God’s grace, we want to see discipleship happen all the time at CLEFC. 

We want to see people move from darkness to light (Colossians 1:13-14) by coming under the Lordship of Jesus, receiving baptism, and learning to follow Jesus and make much of Him in all things through all of life. 

GOSPEL

At the heart of our church is a deep desire to treasure Jesus above all else—His life, death, and resurrection on our behalf.
Through faith in Him, we believe anyone can experience a restored relationship with God and a transformed life.
We believe that following Jesus is worth any cost, and we want the gospel to shape every part of our lives in real, visible ways.

WORSHIP

We long to be captivated by the beauty and majesty of God, responding with heartfelt worship—both in our personal devotion and in times gathered with others.
Worship isn’t just something we do on Sundays; it’s a radical, all-of-life response to who God is, shaping every aspect of how we live.

COMMUNITY

We’re committed to putting others before ourselves, living with genuine transparency, and welcoming loving encouragement and accountability.
Together, we seek to use our gifts and abilities to serve, encouraging one another and building up the Body of Christ in fruitful, creative ways.

MISSION

We’re committed—both individually and as a church—to reaching people far from God, whether in our daily circles or across the world.
Through service, compassion, evangelism, and global missions, we actively share the hope of the gospel and seek to reflect Christ’s love wherever He leads us.
