LC LIFEChurch

A group of 39 faithful-children of God began praying and saw the need for a church in the Leona Community. The church began in the Old Red School Building on FM 977 where Leona Elementary used to hold school but space was limited and the church was growing. As LBC grew, the need for more space was evident. So land was purchased across the street, plans were drawn up and construction began; within

a few months the present sanctuary/fellowship hall was finished and opened for worship. During the last 27 years, there have been countless baptisms, children's and youth ministry events, revivals, worship services and special events that highlight the impact that LBC has had on this community. Fast forward to 2017 in our ever changing world. Our church realized that we weren't reaching and ministering to people as effectively as we once were. It was not that our beliefs, values or spiritual integrity had changed but that our community had changed. What used to work to reach people just didn't have the same impact as it once did. We knew we had to do something to change. So in June of 2016 LBC called its former pastor back to lead the church into the necessary steps of becoming a relevant and effective church in our community again. After a lot of prayer and we do mean a lot - it was decided that changes needed to be made in who we are, what we do and how we're going to do it to reach future generations. Here are some of the things going on:
We are changing our name to LIFEChurch to bring a new, fresh and creative approach in reaching peolpe for JESUS. We will transition the Sunday School hour on Sunday mornings to weekly LIFEGroups - whose goal is to be more intentional about relationships, discipleship and helping people get through day to day life while remaining unmoved in our belief that God's word has all the answers. We will transition to LIFEWorship which will incorporate contempory worship music, more technology, modern easy to read translations of the Bible, more application about how to live God's word on a day to day basis. We will transition to being more race, gender, age, and inter-denominationally friendly - this means you are welcome no matter who you are. We will remain Biblically focused and driven. All churches should hold up God's word as the truth and nothing but the truth. We believe the Bible has answers for every question in life. These are some of the ways LIFEChurch is going to impact our community. Please contact us anytime with questions or more info.
