Community Light School of Discipleship
Community Light School of Discipleship (CLSD) is a Wednesday-night Bible study designed to help each of us to grow as disciples to make disciples.

CLSD is available to Cross View members and the community at large; small groups, friends, neighbors, families, and other congregations can join us onsite, online, or on-demand. Two 9-week sessions start in September and run through early February. For additional details, go to www.communitylight.net. To register, click here.
