CLCC’s purpose is to spread the word of God, foster the worship of God, teach faith in God and promote the family of God. The CLCC vision also includes reaching out to the community to improve health, education, spiritual awareness, and to inspire self-help and volunteerism in the community. Rev. Daye’s prayer is for God to be glorified as he lives by the word, is enabled by the Holy Spirit, and serves as a Christian example and inspiration to others. Rev. Daye lives in New York with his wife and four children.
