ABOUT US
WELCOME TO CLIFFORD!
Our worship service is more traditional accompanied by organ and piano. Children (ages 4 – 5th grade) are dismissed during our congregational greeting time to go to Shining Lights or King Jesus Kids. We have a traditional adult choir singing weekly or some other form of special music is provided. The worship service includes songs of worship and a message from our Senior Pastor, Jeffrey W. Campbell.
