Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At Lord of Life, we think that growing in discipleship means always asking questions of each other and of God.

We value the ancient traditions of the Christian church...

...but we also think God speaks to us anew every day.

If you have questions about church, God, community, yourself...
...what's this all about?
...who (or what) is this God-person?
...why should I skip golf to come to church?

We want to have the discussion with you in community. This FAQ is the beginning of that discussion. Come visit us to ask (and learn) more.

If the list seems intimidating, try using the Search box below.
It's really handy.
