FOLLOW.

LIVE.

LEAD.

In CLC, God forges men through relational discipleship rooted in Scripture and lived out in everyday leadership — transforming their homes, churches, communities, and marketplace.

Many men feel like they're made for more.

More of God. More life. More impact. But they're not sure how to access it. Instead they're...

Checking all the boxes, but still feeling like something's missing.

There's a big difference between going through the motions and living as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Most men live somewhere in between.

That gap isn't filled by trying harder. It's filled by being intentionally equipped - in community, over time, by a trusted guide. That's where CLC comes in.

You don’t have to figure this out alone

Since 1982, CLC has walked alongside men who felt the same gap and carried the same weight.

Not through quick fixes or religious performance — but by gathering men around Jesus Christ through intentional discipleship, meaningful relationships, and being equipped for spiritual leadership.

Men who walk this road don't just know more about God. They know Him. And it shows — in their marriages, their families, their workplace, their leadership, and the men they're raising up behind them.

We don't offer a program. We provide a proven pathway — one walked by over 12,000 men before you.

Forty-three years has shown us one thing — men who engage are transformed. Men who don't struggle to even maintain where they are — drifting further than they ever intended.

A Simple Path Forward

Step 1 - Connect

Reach out and take a real first step. We’ll point you in the right direction.

Step 2 - Join

Get connected to a group near you, or gather a few men and get going.

Step 3 - Begin

Step out of autopilot. Be formed in community instead of drifting alone.

Men just like you took the step. This is what they found.

  • Belief in God gives way to dependence on Him and dependence opens the door to genuine encounter with the Living Christ.

  • Faith becomes the lens you lead through, not just a box you check.

  • Decisions stop following the current and start following conviction.

  • Leadership forged in an enduring band of brothers, not carried alone.

  • Accountability replaces isolation and iron starts sharpening iron.

  • Purpose is no longer a feeling, but a direction walked out every day.

Built for real life,
not just good intentions

CLC offers several group pathways, from long-term discipleship journeys to shorter discussion-based groups.

Each pathway is designed to help men grow in faith, leadership, and community over time.
