Season 1 - Infant/Toddler

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. 

Psalm 127:3


The Bible says that babies are a gift from God! What a special time this is for your family, as you welcome a new family member into your home. One of the ways that we celebrate this time is by dedicating new babies to the Lord. Baby dedications take place on Sunday mornings as the parents and congregation come together to bless and pray over this precious gift from above!



                    Celebrations: We believe that there are significant moments in your child’s faith journey that deserve special recognition and celebration.
                    We don’t want to simply pass over what God is doing in their life. We want to make a big deal of these moments so that your child will remember
                    it for the rest of their lives.


                    Ministries: CLCC provides multiple opportunities to help you and your child in your spiritual formation.


                    Parenting Ideas: Each season has its own joys and challenges. We want to provide you with ideas to help your kids grow their faith during
                    this season of life.

  • by Paul David Tripp

    What is your calling as a parent?

    In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.


    In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God―grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.
