The CLF experience — 18 months
Eighteen months. Six retreats. One cohort. A life-changing experience designed for young married leaders who want to grow together.
Developed over 30 years, CLF is built around the conviction that lasting change happens through community, not content alone. All teaching is rooted in Scripture — but the goal is never information for its own sake. It's transformation: in your relationship with Christ, your marriage, your parenting, and your sense of purpose.
Four core elements woven together across 18 months. Each one makes the others matter more.
Six retreats over 18 months, designed to go deep on marriage, leadership, and calling. Couples retreats focus on your relationship together; the men's and women's retreats bring targeted focus to each person individually.
13 evening gatherings across the 18 months bring the full cohort together for dinner, a speaker, and unstructured fellowship.
Each participant is paired with an experienced Christian mentor who meets with them monthly — providing wisdom, guidance, and accountability across all areas of life. Required for husbands; optional for wives.
Groups of 4–5 participants meet weekly or bi-weekly for prayer, honest sharing, and mutual accountability. For many, these become the most significant relationships of the entire experience.
CLF accepts a small group of couples each year. If you're motivated to live with more purpose and impact, we'd love to hear from you.
