James Baldwin
Lead Pastor, 

​James Baldwin founded CLC in 2007 with a desire to see everyone come to know Jesus and have a relationship with Him. With 4 people seated around a table, $50, and a lot of faith, it was James Baldwin's heart to start a church that wasn't typical - a real church with real people, and a church where no perfect people are allowed. Pastor James' visionary leadership has inspired church growth and outreach initiatives that shows the love of God to individuals, families, his community, and even across the nation and world. He is committed to the continued growth of CLC and the life it gives to our region. Bishop James has a daughter, Grace, a wife, Meghan, and three golden doodles: Daisy and Marley and Winston.
