About Us

Christian Life Assembly is one church with campuses in Langley, Abbotsford,
Maple Ridge and Sooke.

Our History

It all started in 1937 by two young women in Langley.

Our Four Priorities

We Gather

Because of Christ's Resurrection.

Christianity cannot be lived in isolation. We gather because it unites our hearts in one common belief in Jesus Christ. As we celebrate together, we sing, pray, hear God’s Word and regularly participate in the Lord’s Supper and baptism as instructed in the New Testament. We meet to encourage each other to live out our faith as we are sent out.

Our Four Priorities

We Grow

Because of Christ in Us.

The Bible tells us in Colossians 1:27 that Christ in you is the hope of glory! How could we not be transformed when God lives in us? As we grow in our awareness of God’s presence in and through us, our lives reflect Him in even greater ways. We’re all called to growth, and growth happens best together.

Our Four Priorities

We Serve

Because of Christ's Sacrifice.

Christ’s own sacrifice compels us to get out of our own story and into the story of others. Jesus calls us to serve and not sit, to sacrifice our personal time, gifts and resources to see others transformed by the gospel. We lead and are not just led, we feed and are not just fed. We find meaning and purpose in choosing to serve.

Our Four Priorities

We Go

Because of Christ's Love.

We are compelled to reach out because of Christ’s love within us. At the heart of a missional church is the desire to bring Christ into our sphere of influence, to be the salt of the earth and a light on a hill. Yet, it does not stop there. CLA has a special call to our nation and world. We pray, we love, we give, we represent Christ here and globally.

What We Believe About...

God.

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal parts of one God.Genesis 1:1, Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 3:22, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.Matthew 1:22-23, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5, John 14:10-30, Hebrews 4:14-15,1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, 1 Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13

Humanity.

Humanity is made in the image of God. Although God designed us to have fellowship with Him, we became alienated from God through disobedience. As a result, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. We are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts.Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Isaiah 53:6, Romans 3:23, Colossians 1:21, Isaiah 59:1-2

The Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.2 Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13, John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 5:25, Ephesians 5:18

Eternity.

You were created to exist forever. We believe that forever is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. When you die, you will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. Eternal separation from God happens in hell. Eternal union with God occurs in heaven.John 3:16, 1 John 2:25, John 5:11-13, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15

The Bible.

The Bible is God's Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105, Psalm 119:160, Psalm 12:6,Proverbs 30:5

Salvation.

Salvation is God's gift to you if you'll accept it. We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness that you can be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment you receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith.
