LifeChurch.tv wants to make a lasting difference in your life, in our community, and in the world.

Our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. That's how we're able to make a difference and it's the driving force behind everything we do.

A church isn't a building--it's the people. We meet in locations around the United States and globally online. No matter where you meet us, we think you'll find friendly people that are excited to meet you!

Your life

Wherever you are in life, you matter and you have a purpose. We want to help you become who God has created you to be. Your journey has a next step and we'll help you find it. It could start with serving, finding a God's vision for your life, giving, or joining us regularly .

You don't have to take the next step alone. With a strong community of friends, you can laugh, grow, and serve with people who genuinely care about you. Find a small group—or LifeGroup—to join you on your journey.

Your family

Strong families start with solid foundations. That's why we partner with parents to help raise the next generation to become followers of Christ. Your children and teens have opportunities throughout the week to grow relationships with each other and with God.

Our community and world

We are passionate about serving the global community and demonstrating God's love to others. Whether in person or online, individually or in groups, within our church and around the world, we are focused on supporting and engaging in relationships that provide relief and restoration to a hurting world.
