At Life21, we not only believe in Jesus, but we believe Jesus. He came to speak the truth that sets all captives free, heal the sick out of grace and compassion, and save us from the evil forces that seek to destroy us and keep us from the love of our wonderful Creator.
He has set the example and made the way possible for us to continue saving the world in His name. With a mission like this and the promise of everlasting victory – we here at Life21 refuse to sit idly by.
So, if you’re looking to plug in and get involved in the most meaningful yet overlooked battle since the beginning of mankind, you’re in the right place.
Come experience GOD.

OUR PLAN:
Is to make ourselves, and all we have, available for His use in bringing His love to a hurting world.
OUR DREAM:

GOD
The Supreme Being who is without beginning or end, the eternal Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfect, holy, just, loving and true. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent as one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
| GOD’S BOOK
The Bible is God’s message for all people. It was written by human authors under the direction of the Holy Spirit. It is God’s truth for His creation and is the only standard by which we measure life.
| GOD’S VIEW OF LIFE
Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him yet we willfully rejected His Lordship and thereby the life He intended. Because of this, sickness, pain, and death entered the world through this rebellion called sin. In choosing God we choose life, in rejecting God, who is the author of life, we, by default, choose death.

GOD’S RESCUE MISSION
God, out of love for His creation, becomes a man known as Jesus. He is God in the flesh, come to show the heart of our heavenly Father. He went around doing good and healing everyone – calling us back to life with Him.
Although He was God, He left all His divinity at home and lived as a human but without rebelling. When He died a rebel’s death, He died in our place; a substitute to pay the penalty for rebellion. Through Jesus we can be restored to a right relationship with our Creator.
| GOD’S GRACE
Grace means a free favor. Something given by grace means it cannot be earned (you earn your paycheck). God will forgive and forget the rebellion by grace because of Jesus. (Jesus did the work – we get the paycheck by grace). We cannot earn God’s grace – we just accept it.
| GOD’S FRIENDSHIP
After clearing the penalty for rebellion through the death of Jesus, God invites us to become friends. He will stay with us as would our best friend, no matter what we go through. He guides us into doing life the best way – His way. He is our friend and will share all He has as we share with Him all we have.
|
GOD’S GIFTS
He has created each of us with a unique purpose and a divine calling. He gives us supernatural gifts to accomplish our supernatural tasks - ordinary people doing extra-ordinary things. From miracles, healings, supernatural languages, we accept all that He has for us.
| GOD’S MISSION
He wants to undo all the pain and suffering that come as a result of rebellion. He chooses to work with His followers to undo that damage. With the supernatural gifts He guides His people in restoring what has been lost.
| GOD’S FAMILY
To stop running from God and run toward Him is to be invited into His awesome family. Some call this the Church. The followers of God form an amazing family filled with His love and presence. Like any family, there are issues as we learn to experience life together in love.
