Ministries
Times have changed. The church used to count on people coming to them. We no longer take this for granted. We believe that if the local church is not a bright spot in the community, we are not doing our job. We believe if the local church is not helping Jesus’ good reputation, we should stop what we’re doing.
Why do we have so much activity at Church of the Living Christ? Because we love God and want the chance to love you too. We believe that God has the power to change lives because he did it with ours. If we can be a part of your life change, that’s what we are here for. That’s why we do what we do.
