About Us
Vision & Values
Know God
To know God is awesome! He has good news, daily, to share with us. We know God more by engaging in worship, scripture, and prayer. Individually, and within a community of other believers!
Discover Purpose
We believe that God has something good in store for everyone. We want to help everyone discover and enter into a life full of joy and purpose, trusting the God that makes our purpose complete (Psalm 57:2).
Find Freedom
With so many things around us promising hope and fulfillment, we believe that true freedom is found in Christ. We find ultimate freedom and joy as we serve Jesus and allow His Word to speak and direct our lives.
Make a Difference
We believe that God uses His people to bring His will “on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10). We’re here to tell others about Jesus and show the incalculable worth of our God to those around us. We can make a difference in our families, workplaces, and communities by letting the power of God work in and through us.
Sunday Mornings
Christian Life Center draws people from just about every religious background. As our guest, we want you to remain as anonymous as you want to be. We hope that you will feel at home and find a loving community here at CLC! We have two lively Sunday morning services with contemporary worship and a Biblical message each week.
We have two services, at 9 am and 10:30 am. Each service is about 80 minutes long.
3801 S Russell St, Missoula MT
Yes, we have a nursery available and kid’s programs during both of our Sunday morning services! Children ages 0-3 will have a wonderful time in our nursery located directly beside the front foyer. Preschool-aged children will have so much fun in our preschool wing, next to the auditorium, and kindergarten through fifth graders will experience an exciting and encouraging service in our Kids wing towards the back of the building!
The easiest way to get connected is to fill out a connect card! If you’re new, we have a free gift for you in our Welcome Center. Or, stop at our Uplifted coffeeshop and tell them it’s you’re first time here – we’ll treat you to a free coffee!
Another great way to get connected is to get involved! Come to prayer or GrowU, or join a serve team. You’ll connect with many people as you pray, learn, and serve at CLC together!
Wear what you feel comfortable in! We don’t have a dress code or expectation of what “Sunday morning clothes” should be. Casual or dressy, we’re just glad you came!
Wednesday Nights
Kids and Youth programs happen Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00pm! Kids K-5th meet in the chapel, and junior high and high school students meet in the youth room. Our nursery is also open for the younger kiddos!
We have a prayer meeting every week, and Grow U classes every fall and spring (check those out here!)
For kids and youth programs, the Chapel entrance at the back of CLC’s building is the closest. If you hear music and kids, you’re at the right place!
You can also enter through the front – prayer meeting is in the sanctuary, and all the current GrowU classes will be posted in the foyer!
What We Believe
We are affiliated with the Assemblies of God. The “Statement of Fundamental Truths” lists the 16 doctrines of the Assemblies of God. These are non-negotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to.
