Neighborhood Fall Fest

Here at Life.Church, we’re testing out some new strategies for reaching people in the fall. One of these strategies is throwing a Neighborhood Fall Fest at each of our campuses. We want to share that strategy with you to help your church reach more people as well! What is it? The Neighborhood Fa...

3 Values that Lead to Evangelism

“How do I inspire my church to be involved in evangelism?” At Alpha, that’s the one question we most often hear from church leaders—and it’s an important one for a couple of reasons. First, if we mobilize our whole congregation to engage with their community, the message of Jesus will find its way...

Behind the Message: How to Neighbor

How to Neighbor is more than a message series. It's a chance to start a movement in your community. Here at Life.Church, we believe this series can really impact communities around the world, so we created some extra initiatives and resources to help attenders really dig in to the heart of the...

A Christ-Centered, Others-Oriented Challenge

When crisis strikes, as believers our light shines bright. The Church was created to minister to and meet the needs of people filled with fear and doubt. During the COVID-19 outbreak, Pastor Craig Groeschel preached a midweek sermon to encourage Life.Church attenders to do seven things to serve peop...

How to Neighbor: CarePortal

At Life.Church, we believe the local church is the hope of the world. That’s because the church isn’t just a building. The “capital C” Church is all about showing Christ’s love through its people. Scripture specifically calls us to care for orphans and widows (James 1:27). We looked closely at...

How to Neighbor: Partner with Local Missions

At Life.Church, we’re passionate about being the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. Our message series How to Neighbor shows us just how to do that by reaching out to the lonely, those who are different than us, the orphans, and the poor. One of the best ways "neighbor" is to partner...

The Summer Slump

Most churches experience a summer slump. This can mean attendance drops, giving slows down, and volunteers don't show up. As leaders, what should we do during down times? Although I can’t answer the question for you specifically, I would say, “Do something intentional!" Here are some ideas t...

An Outsider's Words Often Mean More

I see it as one of my biggest roles to encourage and strengthen our staff. Almost every time we gather, I remind them they are part of something special. But no matter how often I say it, it doesn’t mean as much as when an outsider tells them. We’ve been blessed to have Dr. Sam Chand, Chris...

Message Support: The Good Work

Join Life.Church Campus Pastor Erin Crain as she helps us unpack The Good Work and how to use it in our churches. For more on holding your own Chazown event, visit the Chazown resource page. Each one of us has a good work to do. We may not see it yet, but it’s often right there in front of our e...

Working Lean: When a Small Staff Is Better

At first, it just doesn't make sense – but it's true. A small staff is often better than a large one. Here at Life.Church, we've found that when a team or campus is slightly overstaffed, progress generally slows down. And when that same team or campus is slightly understaffed, we usually take m...

Several Speakers on One Weekend

Several times a year, Life.Church pastors and leaders 'team teach' with Pastor Craig. Team teaching allows you to take the baton from Pastor Craig and preach your own portion of the message. On Open, we provide flexibility for you to participate in team-teach or not. To participate, use the 'opening...
