A Little Life History… 

Life Church began in March of 1985 with just eleven adults and one little girl. Our vision was to become a church that reached out to hurt and hurting people with the power of God's love and forgiveness, His acceptance and consolation. We wanted a balanced church where our fundamental beliefs could meet up with charismatic joy! We believed that sort of church would be well received as people experienced it, but little did we realize...

Within weeks of getting started, we outgrew the home where we were meeting and rented some facilities in a retail center. Within a few months we acquired the first ten acres of our present twenty-acre site and began developing plans to build. Just after our second anniversary we dedicated the building we currently meet in for worship!

Today, there are many people who call Life Church their church home, and we are living out our early goals to touch our city with something special. With stirring music (our worship leader came to us from the Church of God in Christ), genuine caring (we place a high emphasis on developing "eternal" friendships), multiple voice instructional teaching (we use a "salad bowl" concept), captivating and informative children's ministries (everybody needs their own place), fun fellowships (we play as hard as we serve!), and dynamic outreach into the community (our co-opetition [rather than competition] with several other churches and concepts like our "Freemarkets" have made a definitive impact), God is building a place of strength and refuge out of a people called "Life."

Through the years we have prospered as a congregation in many ways. While we feel privileged and happy to have such a sterling record, we understand God's call to us is to continue channeling His life and blessings in ever-increasing ways. We recognize that the role of the church is not to be a depository of God's blessings, but a distribution point for them through many different types of ministry… and we try to foster as many of them as Father places in the hearts of His sons and daughters… It's that understanding that causes us to reach out to you and say...

"Just come as you are — there’s a place for you … a place where you’ll be loved!"
