At Christian Life Center, we believe in the power of our tithes and offerings. As we approach the Christmas season, we are reminded to ask ourselves, "What if we gave like it was Jesus' birthday?" This question challenges us to embrace a spirit of generosity and sacrifice, just as Jesus Himself exemplified during His time on earth. When we give over and above our tithe, we not only bless others but also honor our Savior who gave everything for us. It is an opportunity to display our love for God and our gratitude for the greatest gift ever given - the gift of salvation. So, as we celebrate this holiday season, let us consider what it truly means to give like it was Jesus' birthday and ask ourselves, What If?

    CLC will be the first church they partner with once established in Montgomery County.

  • CLC committed to $260,000 but only raised $226,169.22.  The additional $33,830.08 was paid using GSV UMP - Foreign Projects funds.

    The Jerusalem School in Bethlehem is an Assemblies of God preK-12th grade school with over 800 students in attendance, primarily Palestinian.  The Academy had an opportunity to purchase land adjacent to the current campus to be used for expansion.  There were many Muslim-based organizations also vying for the land, but were not successful because of our generous and timely donation.
