Transforming lives

Globally
CLC is dedicated to creating a meaningful impact right here in our local community, as well as on a national and global scale. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Portsmouth, our church brings together individuals of diverse ages, nationalities, and backgrounds from across the city and its surroundings.
At our core, we're a close-knit community that embraces the journey of growth. Our lives might be a bit messy and imperfect, but we're all on a shared path of seeking something greater. That something comes in the form of a life-altering connection with Jesus and with one another. Together, we're not just a congregation, but a group of companions, navigating this transformative journey side by side.
our story
In 1640 a small group of believers started meeting together in a cottage. The cottage was in Old Portsmouth, and they met to pray, fellowship and share in God’s word. This is how Our Story began.
Little did they know that this tiny seed that was planted would eventually grow into a mighty oak that would bring about tremendous transformation in so many lives.
Over 380 years on, the church continues to stand tall and impact the city of Portsmouth and nations around the globe. This rich heritage is a powerful foundation that has given us an influential and credible voice both locally and nationally.

I love how family oriented we are, as much as I am far from my culture and country, CLC still makes me feel right at home, it’s like a hug from the Father himself. I love that I get the opportunities to serve in the areas that I feel most strong in and also I still get to step out of my comfort zone in other areas.
- Joan Reginald - student
“There is a unique heartbeat that ripples away through CLC. I love the outward focus that beats to reach people who are needing support and connection.
Having been invited to speak and help with the upcoming recovery ministry, I see a team of servant hearted people who WILL make a cross shaped imprint into many people lives and I always feel inspired to be working with you all”
