Core offering

Christian Life Fellowship is a non-denominational Christian church that provides free weekly worship services across three Sunday time slots, supported by age-segmented ministry programs (children, middle school, high school, young adults), small-group fellowships (LIFE Groups), referral-based biblical counseling, care and prayer ministries, baptism and membership classes, and a K-10th grade Christian school. The organization is funded entirely by voluntary tithes and offerings, with 10% of weekly tithes directed to local and foreign mission partners.
