A Latere offers a classical Christian program that prepares, equips and encourages homeschool parents.

Financial Coaching

If you find yourself wondering where all your money is going if your debt is growing instead of shrinking, or if you find yourself asking, “Does my spending accurately reflect my heart and values?” … a financial coach may be a solution you didn’t even realize you needed. Christ Community’s financial coaching ministry makes it simple to connect with a partner who can help you meet your goals. Our coaches (available for all campuses) can provide a review of your budget, expertise, and encouragement to help you gain some traction in the budgeting process.

Transformational Giving Strategies

Looking to maximize your financial resources and assets for the purpose of the Kingdom? Generosity Pastor Larry Stratton recently interviewed Richard Blackmon of the Giving Crowd about how you can transform non-cash assets that God has entrusted to you into giving.

MONDAY EVENING GATHERINGS

Are you in your 20's or college-aged? This is a place for YOU to find belonging!

Every Monday night at our St Charles/South Elgin campus our Young Adult community groups gather in the same space for a night of discipleship, connection, and prayer. We meet at 7pm in The Hub. We'll spend a few minutes connecting as a larger group, then break into the same Community Groups from 7:15-8:30. On the 2nd Monday of the month, we stay together and share a meal. There will be teaching on topics specific to the young adult stage of life, as well as table discussions around the message.

Our Young Adult Community Groups use curriculum based on the previous weekend's sermon at Christ Community Church. To fully engage in this young adults community, we encourage everyone to attend a weekend service to follow along with the content.
