How you can participate

RAISE AWARENESS: In support of this effort, consider using the downloadable Forge Ahead announcement slides and schedule one or all of the 3-minute videos (view and download below) during your worship service announcements in October.
CREATE OPPORTUNITY: The vision to plant more CLB churches, help congregations grow as disciple-making communities, and assist our churches to reach the next generation with the gospel will require engaging financial partners. Please consider creating an opportunity for your congregation to participate.

Your support matters

Will you come alongside our church planters and pastors again this year?
Past gifts have contributed to the launch of three new CLB churches in 2022, created disciple-making cohorts, provided training in church vitality for six churches, and allowed the CLB to host a 2022 Elevate Youth Convention while planning for another in 2024.
