Welcome to our website! My prayer is that you will find it both useful and informative. I hope by checking us out you can get an accurate impression of how the Spirit of God is moving in this church. It’s awesome to be a part of this.
Not long ago we made a collective decision that we would become the church that God wanted us to be. We were tired of being mediocre. We were tired of being stuck. We were tired of being a church with a lot of “potential.” Something had to change.
It’s been said, “You must become the change that you want to see.” What had to change was us. We kept waiting on God but He was waiting on us. We started seeking God in prayer and crying out for more. We realized that we had to put relationship with Him as the absolute first priority in our lives. I decided as a pastor not to let the “busy” work or mundane things get in the way of my time with God. All of a sudden, by letting nothing rival our time with Him, we were more productive than ever before!
Our youth group started getting more excited about God. They started coming to the front of the church, out of their pews (actually we have chairs now) to worship God! We followed their example! The whole atmosphere changed. We would challenge our people by “speaking the truth in love.” We would directly address the petty things that hold a church in a weak condition. We would increase our commitment, learn not to be offended, and make a determined effort to grow in Christ personally.
As God saw fit, our church grew and flourished. In December of 2008 we moved into a brand new facility located 3 miles North of Augusta on Ohio. We purchased five additional acres of land right next to the church as well, to make sure that our future would not be restricted. The new church was designed with you in mind. A large foyer area is complete with coffee shop tables, where you can sit and connect with friends or make some new ones. As fantastic as our new building is, Life Church will never be just about a facility. The greatest asset of the church will be the people that come here, many of whose lives have been transformed by the power of God. I encourage you to come and see what we are all about and the amazing things that God continues to do.
