YOU BELONG HERE

More Than a Church. A Family.

CLC Student Support Hub is designed to develop a strong and robust mentorship framework for students at CLC. By matching new and old student members of CLC with experienced academics and professionals working in fields relevant to their studies, the programme provides a unique opportunity for one-to-one guidance, professional support, and practical insight. This enables scholars to translate academic knowledge into meaningful action during and after their academic journey.

More broadly, the programme reflects the church’s commitment to supporting every student at CLC in reaching their full potential beyond their spitual growth and development. Through mentorship, encouragement, and knowledge-sharing, it seeks to equip students for academic success, personal growth, and impactful contributions to society beyond their studies.
