Pursue the Promises
Walk with us throughout 2024 focused on the promises of God!
One of CLA’s core values is Biblical Teaching. The Bible provides practical daily guidance for living – it guides, corrects and encourages us to live in a way that honors the Lord. We believe all the answers to living a godly life can be found in the Bible.
Throughout 2024, every Monday morning by 7:00 AM, we will post a new video from Pastor Shane or an article written by a member of our staff that connects to that month’s featured promise.
