A Farewell Lunch
As we are winding down the last of our staff luncheons in our main conference room, we had a great time celebrating the 4th of July! We’ve had many holidays and special occasions here. Many important meetings and decisions were made in this room that made CCF-LA what and who we are today.
Our Seminarian Interns

It’s times like these that show the good work […]

This year, Matthew’s family was at the podium […]
