Sunday Mornings

The Basics

How should you dress?  Kind of a funny question, we know, but you may have wondered this!  Dress how you would normally dress; we’re a casual group of folks.

We have one service starting at 10am, but try to come a little early, especially if you have kids so you can check out our kids’ ministry and get your kids checked in before service. Our Connection Booth is available in the courtyard if you have any questions or needs.

Kids on Mission (Newborn – 5th Grade)

We offer classes for newborns up to Kindergarten. Make sure to show up a few minutes early if it’s your first time so you can get them checked in before service.

Junior High & High School

At Life Mission, our Junior High and High School students join in the adult worship with their parents. Studies show that a large percentage of students leave the church after high school, which is why our Junior High and High School students stay in the main service with the adults for worship and the message on Sundays, so they don’t “graduate the faith” when they graduate high school.

Our mid-week Junior High and High School Ministry (Students on Mission, a.k.a. SOM), meets weekly on Wednesday nights @6:30PM, and is led by Tyler Willis. Students will discuss and dig deeper and build real Gospel-centered friendships with other students, similar to our adult Community Groups format. The group meets in a host home of one of the families in our church.

The Music

Music is an important part of our time together at Life Mission.  We have a deep desire to see Jesus be the central focus of the church, and we believe that engaging through music in corporate worship is one of the most powerful ways to do that.  Our desire is to be a church that worships as a witness to God, to each other, and to the community.  We value songs that are theologically rich, as well as emotionally engaging.  Style-wise, we’ll vary from driving rock to big ballads, old classic hymns and even the occasional folk or Irish-style vibe.

The Message

The Word of God holds the Gospel, which is the life-changing Good News of what God has done for us through Jesus.  We have a deep conviction that it is Jesus alone who can save us and change us. We believe that it’s the Word of God that best reveals who Jesus is and enables us to encounter the truth that can set us free.  Our aim is to ensure that the Gospel of God’s grace and love is made clear to everyone each week, and that each person walks away having been shown the greatness of who God is and what He has done for us.

Most often our sermons and sermon series take the church through various books of the Bible, helping us to understand and love the Word and the God who wrote it, and from time to time will touch on other pertinent themes and needs of the folks at Life Mission. Our Pastors see the time they get with our church family in this capacity as an opportunity to lead them in the worship of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and so their hope and purpose for every message is to make Jesus the Hero and see our lives centered around Him, to see the church built up and equipped in the Word of God, and to see the world around us saved by the grace of God.

Communion, Offering and Response

At the end of each service, we have a time to respond in various ways. Communion is available at different stations in the room, and it is something that Christ told us we should do when we gather together as a church family.  Every time we meet, we want to remind ourselves of what Christ has done, and communion is an opportunity for us to do this. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, we encourage you to take communion with your church family as we gather together.

Before our final song, we’ll stand together to read aloud a short verse that many of us commit to memorizing during the next week.  That same passage will be used as the Scripture reference for the following Sunday’s communion message.

We do this during a final closing song or two so that we can end our time together going to God and thanking Him for His Word and the truth of His Gospel.

Connect

After each service, feel free to grab some snacks and coffee and hang out.  Visit our Connection Booth to meet one of our Team Members where you can ask any questions you may have and learn how you can take your next step at Life Mission!
