The Herd
Never
Roam Alone…
“Most men travel
through life carefully projecting an image that says, ‘I’m okay.’ Privately,
however, they are battling huge inner turmoil and conflict. Without
healthy outlets and relationships to turn to, they are like that poor zebra
isolated from the pack who soon becomes dinner for a prowling lion. In The Herd you will find men watching
each other’s backs, and caring enough to confront one another in a Godly
manner.”
Spend a little time
here, get to know us, and you’ll find the resources and support you need to
help you live the life God meant for you to live. Here you’ll find men
actively seeking God’s purpose and power in their lives. And you’ll find
men who are willing to lift you up and support you in your daily walk with the
Lord. You will find men who are progressing personally, spiritually, and
relationally as they learn how to become the man they were created to be –
God’s Man.
Christian Life is a
church built on the five biblical purposes of worship, fellowship,
discipleship, ministry, and mission. Our goal is to help men understand
and apply each of these purposes from a man’s unique perspective and
responsibility.
If you’re new to
Christian Life Church, we realize that connecting with others can be
intimidating and challenging. We encourage you to explore and get
involved in the wide variety of opportunities in The Herd.
If you’d like a more
personalized introduction to The Herd, simply email us at theherd@clcwired.com
and a team representative will respond quickly to your request.
We look forward to meeting you.

The Herd…Never Roam Alone
Every man has a blast zone of
influence…our mission is to make yours positive and powerful. Here’s how:
GET IN… men become men in the company of other men.
Get in a group
today. Doesn’t matter whether you are married or single, to successfully
win the battles you face in your relationships with God and people, you need
the encouragement and accountability of other strong men. To be the
right man, you must be sharpened by other men who get your blade ready to
perform in the open.
GET HEALTHY… your personal integrity and relationships are
what’s important.
Nothing a man says,
knows, believes, gives, or accomplishes will matter if your relationships with
God and people aren’t healthy. Men who forget this end up with tons of
regret at the end of their lives and no man wants that. Fight for
your relationships with other guys.
GET
STRONG… solid training is needed to be a good leader.
Think special
forces. Our mission is to make men dangerous and good leaders. It’s
an intense process but the results speak for themselves. Strong leaders
make things better and provide hope for the people they are called to influence
and help. The world is waiting for more strong leaders.
GET
GOING… there are missions in this life only you can
fulfill.
You were created to
live in this time in history for a strong purpose. It’s time to make your
mark.

Who Is The Herd?
"I am about to go the way of all the
earth," he said. "So be strong, show yourself a man, and observe what
the LORD your God requires: Walk in his ways, and keep his decrees and
commands, his laws and requirements, as written in the Law of Moses, so that
you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go”
- 1 Kings 2:2-3 (NIV)
“The men’s movement of the last fifteen
years has been challenging men to love more, say more, pray more, read
the Bible more, discipline themselves more, love their wives more, and serve
their kids more.
Men have wanted all those things, but the
majority of them are failing over the long haul. The men’s movement has
asked men to do what their hearts and character’s cannot deliver.
Author Dallas Willard got it right: "What’s needed is a renovation of the heart before a renovation of the
lifestyle.”
