Local Support — Impacting The Community

Meeting Needs and Sharing Hope in the Miami Valley

Through Above and Beyond giving, Christian Life Center invests in ministries that serve right here at home. These gifts empower local initiatives that bring hope, connection, and transformation to our community.

From brewing connection one cup at a time with the Vision Coffee Cart to equipping students to stand firm in their faith, every investment creates tangible impact throughout the Miami Valley. By supporting veterans, recovery ministries, and youth programs, we’re demonstrating God’s love through practical acts of service — creating opportunities for people to encounter Jesus right where they are.
