How long have you been at the Clifton Church of Christ?

What do you like most about the Clifton Church of Christ?
This congregation is genuinely hospitable in every sense of the word.  I do not remember a moment that I failed to feel at home here.  The people are loving, caring, kind, and, perhaps above all else, sincere.

What is your dream for the Clifton Church of Christ?
My dream is that, more and more each day, we will be the light that God intended us to be, both to each other and to our community.  I hope that we as individuals and as a community of faith, will refuse to be content, but always strive for a deeper relationship with God and with one another.
