about life church
OUR beliefs
Life Church is a Spirit-filled, Christ-centered community made up of people from many different backgrounds. While we honor our diversity, we are united by a clear set of biblical convictions that define who we are and how we live.
God
We believe in one eternal, all-powerful, holy, and loving God who has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things and is worthy of all worship and obedience.
Jesus Christ
Jesus is the eternal Son of God—fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and now reigns with all power and authority. He will one day return to judge the living and the dead and establish His eternal Kingdom.
THE Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s inspired, authoritative, and trustworthy Word. It is our final authority for what we believe and how we live. Through Scripture, God reveals His character, His will, and His redemptive plan for humanity.
Mankind
God created humanity in His image—biologically male and female—to reflect His nature and to represent Him on the earth. Every human life is sacred from the moment of conception. All people are deeply loved by God.
Sin
Sin entered the world through human disobedience and separates us from God. All people have sinned and need forgiveness and restoration, which only comes through Jesus Christ.
Salvation
Salvation is a free gift from God made possible through Jesus’ death and resurrection. We receive it by grace through faith, turning from sin and trusting in Christ. Through salvation, we are forgiven, set free from the power of sin, and begin a new life of following Jesus.
Water Baptism
Water baptism is an act of obedience and faith through which we are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. We believe it brings supernatural cleansing, marks the beginning of our new identity in Christ, and is the sacred act through which we are joined to God’s family, the Church. We baptize by full immersion in the name of Jesus, according to Scripture.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a distinct and transformative experience that empowers believers to live a Spirit-led life. It deepens our intimacy with God, activates spiritual gifts for ministry, and gives us boldness to share the gospel. We believe this baptism is available to every follower of Jesus and is essential for fulfilling God’s purpose in the world.
The Church
The Church is the worldwide family of all who follow Jesus, as well as the local community of believers who gather to worship, grow, and serve together. The Church exists to glorify God, proclaim the good news of Jesus, make disciples, and build one another up in love and truth. It is both the visible expression of God’s Kingdom on earth and the vessel through which He continues His mission in the world.
Marriage
We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between one man (born male) and one woman (born female), instituted by God and rooted in Scripture.
Heaven
Heaven is the eternal home of all who place their faith in Jesus. It is a place of joy, restoration, and perfect communion with God, where all things are made new.
Hell
Hell is a real place of eternal separation from God for those who reject Christ. It reflects God’s justice and the consequence of unrepentant sin.
