What a powerful Sunday in the presence of the Lord! On December 21, we celebrated our Savior’s birthday with explosive worship and a life-changing word from Pastor: "Christmas is a Reason to Live!" The greatest gift of all was seeing 10 souls surrender their lives to Christ, Hallelujah! The joy continued as we shared a massive feast and gave away all types of gifts including coats, shoes, and toys galore. Jesus truly is the only person we know who gives and gives, even on His own birthday!

On Sunday October 26, 2025, CTL took a trip to the new Sky Zone in Lincoln Park.  It was an amazing time. We received a word from Deacon Jayvaughn, ate well, jumped for hours, and even recorded a video.  It was truly a day that we will remember.

Thank God for another annual Back to School Event.  We were blessed to hear from our very own 4E Brothers in concert. They did an amazing job. With the bouncy houses, food, snow cones taking the show, we were blessed to give away 400 book bags, 500 pairs of bomba socks, provide blood screenings by Beloved Community and witness some express an interest to register for Kennedy King College Classes. To top it all off, over 25 souls gave their life to Christ. Thank you to Joseph Rice for using his excellent gift of mc’ing the event.  A special thank you to all who served with the food, bouncy houses, socks, barber, salon, registration, audio and video, loading, setup and breakdown.  We could not have done this without your support.  Thank you also, to our high schoolers for being such a tremendous help.

All Praises to God for an amazing day at Lake Michigan on July 20th. We were blessed to witness 9 souls being baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit. It was truly an awesome move of God and all of heaven rejoiced. The entire church celebrated and enjoyed a fabulous picnic with lots of food and fun.
