Christian Activities Ministry
The purpose of the Christian Activities Ministry is to provide opportunities in which our members and guests may participate in meaningful, leisurely activities in a Christian setting. Through our Christian Activities Ministry, we seek to lead participants into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Our desire is to provide wholesome leisure activities that provide a healthy, balanced lifestyle, which embraces the physical, spiritual, social, and mental areas of human life.
We also have a desire to build community by connecting individuals in meaningful relationships with one another and with God. The Christian Life Center provides a means where we can connect with one another, share Christ with others, and encourage a servant heart.
