LIFE Outreach

How can we best describe this ministry?  L.I.F.E. Outreach is an acronym for an outreach ministry to Lifting Individuals From Emptiness.  We start every Sunday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. with a non-traditional worship service that always includes at least three parts:  music in which we sing praises to God; prayer during which we life up both our praises and our needs to the Father; and the Word - both in a reading of a passage and a sermon (often on a different passage).  We follow that with a meal.  The idea is to reach people on every possible level. We reach them socially by giving them a time to interact with each other, we reach them mentally by challenging them to think about what's happening in their lives, we reach them spiritually by explaining the word of God and language they can understand, and we reach them physically by meeting their needs of hunger.
