ONE MISSION, TOGETHER
ONE V IS ION, TOGETHER
CHURCH OF THE LUTHERAN BRETHREN
“In response to God’s person and grace, we worship Him with everything we are in Christ, serve one another in Christian love and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all people.”
CLB Mission Statement
“We see God stirring in our church a fresh passion to reach beyond our own comfort to all people among whom God places us. We embrace God’s mission to bring the life changing Gospel to unreached people in Asia and Africa, and we sense God convicting us to more intentionally reach out to people who live in our midst in North America as well.”
