Our story
Rooted in Faith, Called to Serve
Why We Exist
We believe every person is created with purpose and deserves to hear the life-changing message of the gospel. C.L. Fortier Ministries was founded on that conviction — that the church exists not for itself, but for the world around it.
From our home in Methuen, MA, we reach families, young adults, and anyone searching for meaning, community, and truth. Whether you walk through our doors for the first time or have been with us for years, you belong here.
“C.L. Fortier Ministries exists to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and build a community of believers in Methuen, MA and beyond.”
Core convictions
What We Believe
The Gospel First
Everything we do flows from the good news of Jesus Christ — his life, death, and resurrection for the redemption of all people.
Scripture as Foundation
We hold the Bible as the inspired Word of God, the authority for faith, life, and ministry in every generation.
Community as Family
We are not a crowd — we are a family. We do life together, bear one another's burdens, and celebrate every step of the journey.
Serving the City
Methuen is our mission field. We are committed to loving our neighbors, meeting practical needs, and being a light in our community.
Worship in Spirit and Truth
We gather to encounter God — through authentic worship, prayer, and the preaching of His Word.
Every Generation
From children to seniors, we invest in every stage of life, raising up the next generation of faithful followers.
