Clay Christian Fellowship

We have been learning in our family integrated sunday school class about how the law of God in the 10 commandments can be likened to a banana :
 
Watch this!
What color is a banana?                      Yellow
Now open it up. What color is the part you eat?                  White
 
Now take a bite out of it, and look into the center [...]

Recently, I spent some time with a group of children, playing board games and having fun. Later on in the day, we were talking about PSALM 139, and how God made us and knitte us together in our mother’s womb, and particularly I was describing the meaning and awe of the phrase, “He formed our inward parts.”
I [...]

He was upset when he told me about it. It was an accident. I told him that his Grandfather would take it back the next day with him to get it re-strung. I [...]

I have only read the first half of this intriguing new book, hot off the Bible-upholding, God-honoring presses of Answers in Genesis and I am on my face before the LORD.
Mark and I had the privilege of seeing Ken Ham speak while at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky in May, and once again came away [...]

“So what’s so different about Clay Christian Fellowship’s youth program this summer?”
First of all, there is one!
“Great, but aren’t there plenty of God-honoring activities and programs and events across the nation in which youth can participate to grow in their faith?”
“Well, yes but maybe not like this one…”
 
At Clay Christian Fellowship we are endeavoring to do everything [...]

Please pray that the Lord would open the eyes of our members to [...]

Recently, I watched a show about a village of Eskimos who hunted whales during a short, specific time which provided food for them for the entire year. It was an amazing show.
What amazed me more was that the show briefly mentioned the faith of these Eskimos was in Christ. The entire village worked together and [...]

When our church began in 1953, a female planted the church. While a devoted woman of God, our church fully understands that a female pastor is UNbiblical and we repent!
