Tools & Resources
Life Church is a Family on Mission and part of our mission is to raise fully devoted followers of Jesus. This can only begin with being fully devoted followers of Jesus. Full devotion to Jesus is the life long journey of discipleship which involves being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus and living for Jesus. This happens through building regular spiritual practices into our everyday lives. The tools below are designed to help you do that.
Raising fully devoted followers is what Jesus instructed the church to do when He commissioned them to make disciples of all nations. Disciple Making involves passing on what you know of Jesus and have experienced of Him, however seemingly big or small that may be. It leads to multiplication and is the reason that there are over 2 billion Christians around the world today. The tool below is designed to help you to help others to be with, become like and live for Jesus.
