MISSION

Here at Life Family Church, we are all about Loving People, Winning People, Growing People and Sending People. The mission of LFC is to show God’s LOVE, WIN people to Christ, GROW believers in their faith and SEND them into God’s harvest field. As the body of believers here at LFC accomplish this mission, we will then fulfill God’s vision for our church. That vision is “Growing God’s Family Naturally and Spiritually”.
 
The leadership’s focus and goals for our church are found in Ephesians 4:11-12
Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. THEIR RESPONSIBILITY is to EQUIP GOD’S “PEOPLE” TO DO HIS WORK AND BUILD UP THE CHURCH, the body of Christ.
 
We want to empower believers so that they can use their gifts for HIS work!
 
 
 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Attending a new church can be uncomfortable. Let’s be honest, going to a new place full of people that you don’t know is intimidating. The first word in our mission statement is “LOVE”. What you will notice when you attend Life Family Church for the first time, is that we are like family; we are all about loving people the way God loves them. No matter what your background or status in life is, you will experience a loving and friendly church to call home.
 
Our praise and worship can be described as powerful at times and moving at others. Our pastors teach and preach God’s Word from a life application standpoint and how to be led by the Spirit. We invite you to join our family so that you can find your purpose and divine destiny in HIM!
 

WHAT WE BELIEVE

 
THE SCRIPTURES
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine.
2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, 2 Peter 1:21
 
THE GODHEAD
Our God is One, but manifested in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, being coequal. 
Deuteronomy 6:4, Philippians 2:6
 
God, the Father is greater than all; the Sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter.
John 14:28, John 16:28, John 1:14
 
The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning.
John 1:1, John 1:18, John 1:14
 
The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal.
John 14:16, John 15:26
 
MAN, HIS FALL AND REDEMPTION
Main is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. The Bible says “…all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” and “…There is none righteous, no, not one.
Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23
 
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God.
Romans 5:14, 1 John 3:8
 
Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God.
Ephesians 2:8-10
 
ETERNAL LIFE AND THE NEW BIRTH
Man’s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life.
2 Corinthians 7:10, John 3:3-5, 1 John 5:12
 
WATER BAPTISM
Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.
Matthew 28:19, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12, Acts 8:36-39
 
The following recommendation regarding the water baptismal formula is adopted; to wit: “On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.”
 
BAPTISM IN THE HOLY GHOST
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance.
Matthew 3:11, John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 19:1-7, Acts 2:1-4
 
SANCTIFICATION
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ’s return.
Hebrews 12:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Peter 3:18, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 3:12-14, 1 Corinthians 1:30
 
DIVINE HEALING
Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of every member of the Church today.
James 5:14-15, Mark 16:18, Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24
 
RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD
The angels said to Jesus’ disciples, “…This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” His coming is imminent. When He comes, “…The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air…”
Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
 
Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years.
Revelation 5:10, Revelation 20:6
 
HELL AND ETERNAL RETRIBUTION
The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The lake of fire is literal. The terms “eternal” and “everlasting,” used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the lake of fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the Presence of God.
Hebrew 9:27, Revelation 19:20
