Welcome

"Where Friends Meet and Become Family"

Welcome to our family! As a family we seek to make a difference with our lives by loving God and others. As a family we are devoted to serving God and others.

All of our ministries are devoted to honoring Christ through prayer, praise, and the life-changing Word of God. With the help of God's Spirit we seek to care for the needs of every child, teen, and adult. All of our ministry partners demonstrate the love of Jesus as they attempt to minister to people at all stages of life from the nursery to our shut-in care ministry. As you can see, our ministry is not buildings but people. We are here to touch people and help them be all they can be for God!

Throughout these pages you will find many opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth. If you are looking for a family you have come to the right place. Please feel free to become part of our family!

L.I.F.E. PENCIL PROJECT

   L.I.F.E. needs your help for the upcoming “Pencil Project” for the 2009-2010 school year. This is a one-day school supply give-away at the Lawrence County Fair Grounds on Thursday, August 6 to help those families who are in need of school supplies. With the current state of the economy, they estimate a 10% greater need for supplies this year over last year. They also are in need of volunteers to help out on August 6. Groups are invited to set up booths to help both educate and entertain the kids. Contact L.I.F.E. at 279-4442 if you would like to volunteer or need more information.
