Welcome to Life of Faith.
We gather every week as a church to follow the teachings of Jesus, and we would love for you to be our guest. We're so glad you're visiting us.
Your first Sunday, start to finish.
We'll have a time of worship through singing, studying the Scripture and praying, with plenty of chances to connect with others.
Kids check in
Faith Kids check-in opens. A parent or guardian signs each child in and keeps a check-in receipt to pick them up after service.
We worship together
Singing, the Scripture and prayer. We're a Spirit-filled church, and our hope is that you experience God and learn to hear His voice.
Stay for lunch
On the first Sunday of every month, newer guests are invited to a free Welcome Lunch in the Meeting Room.
