Come and see.
Don't take our word for it.
“…restored my marriage…”
We are so incredibly grateful for CLF! God has used this church body to do the miraculous in our family. He restored my marriage and brought our children into the Kingdom. From the very beginning, we were never treated like a number, we were welcomed into authentic fellowship, intentional discipleship, and a culture that truly values legacy. We are so thankful to have found a place that feels like home for our entire family.
“…actually care…”
We moved here in 2023 from Romania after my wife was praying and sensed God clearly say, "Zebulon." Over time, we realized He was leading us here and ultimately to CLF. The past few years have been difficult for our family, but through it all, this church has stayed with us and walked alongside us. It isn't just a place to hear a good sermon, they actually care about people.
“…genuine…”
My life was literally changed the moment I walked into a worship service almost 2 years ago. Every Sunday heaven comes down and we meet the Father face to face. I have made some amazing friends here and people that genuinely treat me like family. This church doesn't allow broken people to stay broken.
“…Spirit-Led…”
It is rare to find a church that values family and the Holy Spirit like CLF. Their love for people and love for Jesus is amazing. When you come to this church you can count on being welcome and feeling like family. The preaching is Bible-based and the worship is Spirit-led.
Raising the next generation to know God.
We take our legacy seriously. Our Kids Ministry partners with parents to raise godly children who know God for themselves, not just stories about Him.
Kids start the morning in worship with the whole church, then head to their own program with background-checked, trained leaders who love them well.

After Hours
Every fourth Friday, over 600 people in their 20s and 30s pack the room from across Raleigh for worship and ministry that doesn't watch the clock. After Hours is what happens when the service ends but the hunger doesn't.
Visit After Hours ↗Worship that's real. Preaching that's uncompromising.
We value both: worship that makes room for the Holy Spirit, and Bible-based preaching that does not compromise to culture.
The real questions
The questions we'd want answered before walking into a new church. Anything else, ask us on Sunday.
Is my child safe with you?
Every volunteer and staff member who works with kids passes a full background check before they serve. No exceptions.
They're trained in child safety, and every kids' room has clear sight lines and an open-door policy. Your child's safety isn't negotiable, so we don't treat it that way.
Who holds your leaders accountable?
Nobody here leads alone. Our Senior Pastor is backed by a board of elders who bring wisdom, ask hard questions, and share the weight of decisions.
Our elders aren't isolated either. They're connected to trusted pastors and ministry leaders across the U.S. and beyond who speak into their lives and leadership. No one is above accountability.
Will my family and marriage actually be supported?
The people who lead you should have marriages and families worth following. Our Life Groups meet twice a month, led by people held to real standards of training, discipleship, and healthy marriages.
When life gets hard, our elders and pastors step in. A crisis, a rough season, or just needing someone in your corner: you won't face it alone.
What if CLF isn't the right fit for us?
Then it isn't. A visit isn't a commitment.
God plants people where He wants them, and we won't be everyone's church home. Either way, we want your time here to move you closer to Jesus.
