About JCLC

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”  2 Timothy 3:16-17

“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” James 1:27

“You’re here to defend the defenseless, to make sure that underdogs get a fair break;” Psalm 82:3 (The Msg)

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13

“5 For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. 6 Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. 7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. 8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.” 1 Thessalonians 2:5-8

According to the Gospels in the Bible, Jesus’ public ministry spanned about three years. Jesus, being God in the flesh, could have chosen any number of ways to bring the message of salvation to the world, and yet, Jesus chose to invest three years into the lives of a small group of people. JCLC seeks to be (in a sense) spiritual foster parents to children and mothers in our sphere of influence. For 9+ years of investment we work hard to become “Natural Mentors” by serving and mentoring in the name of Jesus.
