MEET OUR STAFF

Welcome to our website!  This is where we share some information about ourselves so everyone can see that we're super-cool, yet very ordinary people that just happen to love Jesus.  Then when you see that we're super-cool, yet very ordinary, we hope you'll say to yourself; "hey, I'd like to meet that super-cool, yet very ordinary person."

 

Tony Haglund, Senior Pastor
So...I'm Tony, I'm married, have three kids, love to golf, drink wine and grill a great steak.  My secret addictions are American Idol and Diet Coke.  Turn-ons include dreamers, great voices with an acoustic guitar and my very cute wife, Rhonda.  I eat too much, exercise too little and am constantly amazed that God chooses to use a putz like me to share the good news. OK, there you have it - as you can see I'm super-cool, yet very ordinary.  Give me a call and let's have coffee.

As well as sharing the comfort of the gospel I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, going to the movies, and reading.

Hi! I’m Kari Elling, Director of Youth Ministries. I think I have the best job at CLC. I love spending time with our middle and high school students, listening to their stories, and encouraging them on their walk of faith. I love sharing the gospel with them, but get even more excited when I see their faith in action. I have been married to Jim for 16 years and have two boys (Kaleb and Zander). In my spare time you’ll find me at the baseball diamonds and other places where youth are involved (music events and sports activities).
