We don't do church as usual.

CLF is a Spirit-led, multi-generational, multi-cultural church in Raleigh. We believe God still heals, still speaks, and still gives His gifts to ordinary people, and we build everything around making room for Him.

Why we exist

Mission

We exist to take people from encounters with God to a life transformed.

Vision

We are equipping and empowering everyday believers to become spiritual leaders, bringing lasting transformation from their homes to the city to the nations.

What you won't find here

  1. The band and congregation in worship

    More than 3 songs and a sermon.

    Our gatherings aren't a religious routine. We leave space for worship, prayer, and real encounters with God.

  2. Two men hugging

    We don't do fake.

    We care more about genuine connection and life together than putting on a good front.

  3. Men talking over a meal

    We care about the person on Monday.

    We care more about real growth in your life than just showing up on Sundays.

What we value

  • Kingdom First

    We prioritize Kingdom over ministry, letting His reign transform every area of life.

  • Lasting Transformation

    We believe in the kind of change only God can do.

  • Authentic Life

    We value being real: honest, human, and holy.

  • Family-Focused

    We exist to strengthen homes and help families thrive.

  • Honoring Lives

    We extend honor amidst difference and treat everyone as image-bearers.

  • Radical Servants

    We lead by lowering ourselves and doing whatever's necessary.

  • Legacy Matters

    We invest in the next generation so they carry their own faith.

  • Equipping Leaders

    We disciple to multiply and equip people for cultural influence.

Led by a team, not a personality

No one person runs CLF. Our elders lead together, in mutual accountability, with trusted leaders from other churches speaking into their lives.

What we stand on

We believe the whole Bible is true and the Holy Spirit is still moving today. Read what we believe, and the convictions we won't move on.

Your first Sunday starts here.

Sundays at 10:30 AM. We'll walk you through everything before you arrive, from where to park to where your kids go, so you can walk in ready to encounter God.
