Who Is Life Church Franklin

With the incredible growth happening at Life Church Franklin I think it's important we all know and understand what Life Church Franklin is all about.

We start first with our mission statement of "leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ." That's our core mission. We pray and long to see everyone come to a place of deep repentance before God and allow Jesus Christ to be the savior and Redeemer of their life.

The second part of understanding Life Church is to understand out discipleship process...Connect - Grow - Serve.
We CONNECT Sundays in corporate worship...we GROW in community Life Groups...and we serve our family, community and the world.
It's really a pretty simple approach to the local church. We want to keep things simple. For to long Christians have made the church way to complicated in many different ways.

A third piece of understanding Life Church Franklin is to understand why we do what we do. Sunday worship experiences are built to create a welcoming, friendly, comfortable environment when ANYONE can come and hear the life changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will talk about real life. We will talk like real people. We will be real about the struggles and world we live in. We will NOT fake it.
The fact is, when you get 300 or more people together, we are not all going to agree on everything. Myself and out leadership team know that. We do things for a purpose and sometimes we are going to try new and different things. But, always and I mean always, the intention, the heart and the vision is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

My continued pray is that LCF becomes known as the most "real" church in town. I want you and my family to come and feel free to bring our weaknesses and strengths and let the power of Jesus transform us and renew us...not come with a fake happy face and pretend we have it all together. I will be the first to admit, I don't have it all together.

Thank you for your support and prayers for Life Church Franklin. We pray and believe that God has even greater things to come!

The Ghost - Week 1

It's Full Time

On Sunday I was able to share some very exciting news about the future of Life Church Franklin. Beginning Thanksgiving of this year I will be serving and leading as pastor of Life Church. This is something that Laurel, myself and our leadership have been praying about for many months.
God has provided and shown us all so much in this journey to going full time and now a new journey begins. I am thrilled to be able to work on ideas, projects and be more available for Life Church.
Laurel and I would appreciate all your prayers for us and our family as we transition and adjust to this new role. Thanks to each of you for being a part of LCF and we hope you are ready for what God has next for us.
Greater things are yet to come!
