God has established the Church for His purpose, therefore, our vision at Life Community Church (LCC) is His purpose. As children of God, we were created to be loved by God and live a life in response to that love; leading to faithfulness and obedience. LCC exists to help believers be with Jesus, become like Him, and do what He did.

What kind of church is Life Community?
LCC is a non-denominational, Gospel-centered, Spirit-filled church seeking to form faithful, flourishing followers of Jesus, pursuing the renewal of our community.

Whether articulated or not, every church has areas of distinction that shape its philosophy of ministry. Here are some important areas of emphasis for LCC:

Healthy Souls
You are more than you produce. For that statement to become an embodied reality, it requires both acceptance and rejection – acceptance of who God says you are and rejection of who the world says you are, should be, or were. We believe belonging to a church community actively pursuing rhythms of life that contribute to soul care plays an integral role in fullness. Our desire is to help believers reject the world’s pressures, expectations, and identities and accept the easy yoke of Jesus. This goes for church members, volunteers, and staff – we are regularly assessing the time balance between spiritual life, family life, and church life, in order to create healthy boundaries that contribute to healthy souls.

People of Prayer
We want to be known as a people of prayer. As the most powerful tool at the believer’s disposal, we want to remain dependent on what God can do in any circumstance in life. Talking to God, listening for God, and remaining attentive to His presence and ongoing work is the aim for our community.

Intentional Ministry
Within intentional personal, relational, and corporate spiritual rhythms, we find meaning, purpose, and fullness of the soul. Intentionality drives the ministry philosophy of Life Community Church; spiritual practices, ministries, and gatherings are purposefully and prayerfully structured to contribute to formation. Whether it’s the songs we choose to sing, the imagery used, or the words spoken, we’re considering each worship element and its potential impact on spiritual formation.

Spiritual Empowerment
The Spirit has graced us each differently and we’re all necessary to be a fully-formed body. We want to bring awareness of the gifts and empowerment within each member and make room for that God-given grace to edify our church family and build the kingdom.

Well-Differentiated Community
When it comes to secondary beliefs, personal values, or any number of factors that make us unique from one another, we desire to seek harmony in a diverse community of people for the glory of God. A place where we can unify around the essential beliefs of the faith, yet hold to our personal convictions without feeling the need to change or change others. A place where spiritual unity reigns over natural differences.

Inter-Generational Community
We want more than the presence of multiple generations in our community—our desire is to see both old and young active in ministry alongside one another and to one another. Every church needs the wisdom, experience, and decades of faithfulness witnessed by seasoned adults, while those same adults need the life-giving spirit, joy, and faithful innocence of the youngest generation. We’re trying to answer this question: How do we intentionally bring generations together for whole-family formation?
