About Us

Who we are, where we come from, and where we're headed as a church family

Who we are

Here's the deal, Life Church cares about one thing more than anything else, Jesus Christ. We are a family of individuals that have found hope in Jesus, and simply want as many people as possible to experience that exact same freedom.


If you are looking for a church where the Bible is taught with clarity, where you can fellowship with other believers, and where you can worship God in a way that is both joyful and authentic, then Life Church is the place for you. We believe that following Jesus is the most fulfilling thing you can do in life, and we would love to help you take your next step on your journey of faith.



We are a Bible-based, evangelistic, Spirit-empowered church. 

Our Blueprint:

  1. SALVATION:
  2. Faith in Jesus' atoning death for our salvation (Matthew 4:16);
  3. PRAYER:
  4. Daily time with God (Psalm 5:3);
  5. SCRIPTURE:
  6. Applying Scripture to become more like Jesus (Philippians 1:6);  
  7. SERVING:
  8. From a healthy spiritual life, serving in our giftings (Romans 12:4-5).

Where we come from

Life Church was started in February 1985, as a home Bible study. It then began meeting at the Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic in September 1985. On Palm Sunday, 1986, we began morning worship services. In July 1987, we moved to 104 S. Grove Street as a store-front church. Then, in September 1990, we purchased a corn-storage building and 7 acres at 2770 Brandywein Trail, which is our present home. Our first service was on a cold Sunday, February 3rd, 1991!

Where we're headed

We believe that God has chosen the local church to represent His life and His love to the community. Through strong, growing, healthy local churches, people should have the opportunity to hear the Gospel, come to know Jesus Christ, become a part of the body of believers, and be discipled. At Life Church, our first priority is to be a thriving local church for the people of Mt. Horeb and surrounding communities.
