Fearlessly trusting God, we accept all others, ourselves, and our calling to give comfort.


Comfort your family by writing down your funeral wishes;
comfort your church by leaving CVLC in your will.

I have worked with numerous families over the years as they plan their loved one's funeral.  The families that knew what their loved one wanted do so much better than those who do not know.  Give comfort to your family by writing down your wishes and sharing it with them.  In the same way, you will give comfort to your church by leaving a legacy gift for CVLC in your will.

~ Pastor Ben
