Family Life Church believes we should be furthering Christ's kingdom to the ends of the Earth through praying, giving, and sending. We embrace God's decree that every nation, tribe, and tongue will worship before His throne and, subsequently, believe that missions exists to carry out that call.
FLC has embraced this mandate to take Christ to the nations and our own community as our divine call. We commit our time, talents, and treasure to this end and embrace a theologically sound and strategic approach to accomplish the building of Christ's kingdom both globally and in our city.
At FLC, we believe it is vital as a believer to be rooted and grounded in the Word of God. It’s important to know the Word as it is the living, breathed Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). It’s the very foundation of what we stand on as believers.
The Word is complete, authoritative, and true. Though many claim there are multiple interpretations, there is but one truth that God has communicated to us. Get in the Word, and get the Word in you!
Over the last few years, it has become cliché to use the expression in church “let’s do life together” when all that involves is generally meeting together for an hour or so on Sunday mornings. That’s not doing life together, that’s meeting for church.
At FLC, we want to be a group modeled after the Acts church where they truly did life together as a “family”. As a family, we want to celebrate together, laugh and cry together, break bread together, grow in our walk with Christ together, and to truly be what our name says…..Family!
