The smartest thing I’ve ever learned Is that i don’t have all the answers Just a little light to call my own Though it pales in comparison To the overarching shadows A speck of light can reignite the sun And swallow darkness whole

The smartest thing I’ve ever learned
Is that i don’t have all the answers
Just a little light to call my own
Though it pales in comparison
To the overarching shadows
A speck of light can reignite the sun

LifeChurch.tv Core Values

  • We are faith-filled, big thinking, bet-the-farm risk takers. We’ll never insult God with small thinking and safe living.
  • We are all about the “capital C” Church! The local church is the hope of the world and we know we can accomplish infinitely more together than apart.
  • We give up things we love for things we love even more. It’s an honor to sacrifice for Christ and His church.
  • We wholeheartedly reject the label mega-church. We are a micro-church with a mega-vision.
  • We will do anything short of sin to reach people who don’t know Christ. To reach people no one is reaching, we’ll have to do things no one is doing.
  • We will lead the way with irrational generosity. We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.
  • We will laugh hard, loud and often. Nothing is more fun than serving God with people you love!
  • We always bring our best. Excellence honors God and inspires people.
  • We are spiritual contributors not spiritual consumers. The church does not exist for us. We are the church and we exist for the world.
  • We will honor Christ and His Church with integrity. If we live with integrity, nothing else matters.  If we don’t live with integrity, nothing else matters.
