Local Missions
CLG Missions exists to advance and implement the vision of the Church of the Living God: Rescuing the Perishing and Caring for the Dying. We do this by transforming lost people into disciples of Jesus Christ. Our ministry is holistic, touching the total person- spirit, soul, and body.
This is in line with the pattern established by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His ministry involved teaching, preaching, feeding, healing and deliverance (Luke 4:18-19,) and He has commissioned us to go and do the same (Matthew 28:18-20.)
LOCAL MISSIONS- HYATTSVILLE, MD
Listed below are the ministries within the Local Missions department at CLG-Hyattsville
CARE MINISTRY
The Care Ministry is one of the small group ministries of the Church of the Living God. Through this ministry we reach out and connect with all who attend, are members, or are just visiting a worship service or ministry event at our Church.
The Care Groups meet in the warmth and comfort homes. In such a setting one has the opportunity to experience the love of God through His family, grow into the image of Christ through Bible studies, and be equipped to fulfill God’s call/plan for his/her life.
EVANGELISM TEAM
How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? (Romans 10:14)
The mission of the Evangelism Team is to tell all people about the love of God and His provision of freedom from sin and eternal life through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. We use all means available to us – health fairs, door-to-door, street evangelism, job fairs, cook-outs, etc. to reach as many people as possible with the love of Christ (1 Cor. 9:22.)
FOLLOW-UP & DISCIPLESHIP
The Great Commission given to us by Jesus is to make disciples (followers of Jesus) of all people. Our mission is to welcome new Christians into the Family of God and walk with them, teaching them and modeling the life of Jesus Christ, so that they, in turn, can become disciple-makers. This ministry includes Follow-up volunteers, Discipleship Class teachers, and the Water Baptism, Team.
TRANSPORTATION MINISTRY
The goal of the Transportation ministry is to make sure that no one misses worship because of lack of transportation to church. We offer transportation services to all (within reasonable distances from church). Please call the church office if you need a ride or wish to serve as a driver.
PRISON MINISTRY – ANGEL TREE PROGRAM
Through the Angel Tree Program, CLG has the privilege of participating in the ministry of Prison Fellowship founded by the late Chuck Coulson. Every year, CLG receives a number of children whose parents are incarcerated and who would otherwise not have any gift for Christmas. CLG members volunteer to buy gifts and participate in a Christmas dinner hosted by the church. The children and their guardians are invited to the dinner at which they also get a chance to hear the gospel.

CLG INTERCESSORY PRAYER TEAMS
We cannot accomplish the supernatural task given to us without complete dependence on God. A number of Prayer Teams exist at our local Hyattsville Branch to support CLG missions work, locally, in the US, and overseas.
MID-DAY INTERCESSORY PRAYER
In Intercessory Prayer, you have the incredible possibilities of enlarging your territory. You can pray for someone in your own home, next door or halfway around the world and those prayers are heard in heaven.
The lives of those we pray for are influenced. Meeting times are every Wednesday at the church from 12:15-2 p.m.

This ministry was born out of a desire to reach out to the elderly in our community with the love of Jesus Christ. The ministry team meets every second and fourth Sunday to pray together before ministering at a Nursing home in Rockville. Our prayer is that God will raise up more volunteers so we can reach other nursing homes in the DC metro area.
