What
does "Life"

church body. We are also called to
make an impact on the world: to bring the world around us a little closer to
the way of love and justice that God intends.

ability, gender, church background, belief, lifestyle or personal history. We will try our best to include and
welcome you!
Life in Christ: We come together as a church in order to grow in faith and knowledge
of God -through worship, support, study and sharing of faith in small
groups. We will do everything
we can to equip you with faith!
Life for the World: Every member of the church is a "minister", specially created by God
and brought into our midst for a purpose. We will try to help you find that
purpose and pursue it.!
