MISSIONS AT CLCC
At CLCC we value living missional lives:
Loving God.
Loving People.
Reaching the World.
We understand that “missions” begins in
our own backyard: Abbotsford. We also
prayerfully and financially partner with
local, national and global missionaries to
support God’s missional work all over the
world.
MISSIONS SUNDAY
Every year in the spring, CLCC holds its
annual Missions Emphasis Sunday which
includes our Missions Fair where we set
up displays highlighting all the ministries

projects. It is an excellent way to learn
about what the CLCC community is doing
to reach others with the gospel and how
you can get involved!
