Thank you for your interest in LifeWay Church!

We strive to be a community of Christ followers who are radically devoted to reaching those without Christ. We try to accomplish this through weekend services as well as through neighborhood groups. Our services include both inspiring worship and insightful teaching, while our groups meet for discussion, encouragement and accountability in neighborhoods all across our community.

This emphasis on commitment, community and compassion is reflected in our ministry to youth and children as well. We’re convinced that the life offered and described in the Bible is the very best life you can live, a life that is both exciting and fulfilling. We invite you to join us in our pursuit of “the life that is truly worth living.”

If we can answer any questions for you or serve you in some way, please don’t hesitate
to contact any of our ministry leaders. We would be honored to serve you.
Blessings,

Don Turner

The Bible

- The Bible is God’s written word to us. It was written by human authors under the supernatural direction of the Holy Spirit. Consequently, it is without error and the final authority on all matters on which it speaks. (2 Timothy 3:16-17;2 Peter 1:20-21; 1 Corinthians 2:13)

God

- There is one God existing eternally in three persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit-each possessing all the attributes of deity. (Isaiah 43:10-13; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

Humanity

- God Created humans in his own image, capable of relationship and fellowship with him. At the temptation by Satan, they rebelled against God’s authority and went their own way. As a result, the entire human race has experienced both physical and spiritual death. We cannot change this condition ourselves, but must be rescued by God. (Genesis 1:26-27;Genesis 2:15-25: Genesis 3: 1-19: Romans 3:23;Ephesians 2:1-3

Jesus

- To that end, Jesus came to this world,born of a virgin, lived a perfect life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sins by dying on the cross as our substitute. He arose from the dead, demonstrating both the Father’s acceptance of his sacrifice and his power over death. (Matthew 1:25; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; Romans 3:25; 1 Peter 2:24; Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-23)

Salvation

- Salvation is God’s free gift to us, offered entirely because of his grace—not because of human effort or goodness—but we must receive it by trusting in him alone. When we receive his gift, we are made spiritually alive
by a supernatural act of the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-10; 1 Peter 1:18-19; John 3:5-8; Titus 3:5; James 1:18;
2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:24; 1 Peter 1:23)

Spiritual Growth

- All who trust Christ will, through the help of the Holy Spirit, seek to become more like Christ in thought, attitude, and action. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 19-20; Ephesians 5:17-21; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 3:16)

The Church

- The Church comprises all Christ followers and exists to glorify God by the message it proclaims and the ministry
it performs. All members of the universal Church are to participate in a local church. (Ephesians 4:3-6; Ephesians 2:15-16; Hebrews 10:25; Acts 2:43-47; Romans 12:4-5)

The Return of Christ

- The next great event of human history will be the personal, physical return of Jesus Christ. The time of Christ’s return is a mystery to us and known only to the Father himself. (John 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:51-53;
1 Thessalonians 4:15-5:11; Matthew 24:36)

Last Things

- At the end, everyone will experience physical resurrection and judgment. Those who receive forgiveness through
Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God. Those who reject or ignore Christ’s forgiveness will be eternally separated
from fellowship with God.(1 John 5:11- 12; Romans 8:10-11, 19-23;2 Corinthians 4:14; John 5:29;
Revelation 20:6, 13-15)
