Open Door
We’ve learned that church is more than a place to go—it’s people knowing God’s love and being known by others. God is doing more than we ever thought possible as we learn to live and love like Jesus. So, we want to talk about it! Let's have dinner, spend time together, and really get to know one another. Whether you’re new to Life Center or have been attending for a while, we want to get to know you better! Join us for an upcoming Open Door Event TONIGHT - Sunday, April 30th. Simply fill out the form below and our team will connect with you soon to confirm details!

3 Truths About Temptation
1. It’s not a sin to be tempted.
God may test you, but He’ll never tempt you.
2. You’re most vulnerable to temptation when you’re weak, and when you think you’re strong.
Temptation often comes through a door that’s been deliberately left open.
One of the best ways to resist temptation is to eliminate it.
3. God will always give you a way out.
DO YOU NEED PRAYER?
...The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Luke 18:27 We would love an opportunity to pray for you. Please click on the link below and submit your prayer request.
