Christian Life Center

What Christian Life Center does

Christian Life Center (CLC) is an independent, multi-campus non-profit religious organization headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, operating across five South Florida campuses in Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Sunrise, West Boca, and Tamarac (Spanish-language services). The church delivers weekly worship services, pastoral care, baptism and baby dedication ceremonies, weddings, counseling, and grief support (LifeLine Resources) to individuals and families seeking spiritual community, with programming segmented across all life stages: Surge (children), Powerhouse (teenagers), Vibe (young adults), Men's and Women's ministries, NXT GEN youth, and Life Groups for ongoing community connection.

CLC's core service portfolio also includes structured spiritual development pathways such as the School of Discipleship, Encounter God Experience, Bible Engagement, and the Kingdom Builders stewardship program. The organization operates an affiliated education vertical spanning Precious Promise Academy, Coral Ridge Christian Academy, and Christian Life Academy, and holds a partnership with Southeastern University to host higher education degree programs on its Fort Lauderdale campus. Distribution occurs through both physical campuses and digital channels — live streaming on YouTube and Facebook, plus a dedicated website (clcftl.org) with an events calendar and online giving.

CLC is funded through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants via online and in-service giving, with affiliated schools operating on tuition-based models as separate entities. The organization is independently operated with no parent company, external investment, or disclosed ownership structure. Headcount stands at 117 employees, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. As a church, services are free at point of use; financial support is donation-driven and not transaction-based.
