Our 2024 all-church theme is Pursue the Promises. Our April promise and verse is God promises to answer our prayers (Matthew 7:7). Every Monday by 7:00 AM, we share a new Blog post by a member of our team that features that month's promise and verse. You can access this week's post here, which was written by Melissa Ball, an Online Campus Host & Prayer Partner.

Celebrate with Rend Collective! Ten years ago, they took their instruments to a chilly Northern Irish beach and sang around the campfire with a few friends. At that time, they had no idea they were standing at the edge of a global worship movement!

To celebrate this big landmark, they've put together a completely different kind of tour - all the cozy campfire feelings and folksy nostalgia of that era, plus all their new classics…but presented in a totally new way. Be part of this awesome event on Friday, May 3 at 7:00 PM here at CLA. Learn more and purchase tickets.
