What is Vision 2025?
In 2004, the people of The Life Christian Church gave a $100,000 Miracle Offering as seed money to launch the design phase of what is now The Life Christian Church Worship and Mission Center. Thirteen years later – with the congregation four times larger now than then – we are asking people to pray and step out in faith to give a $400,000 Miracle Offering to provide the seed money to expand, multiply and gain a bigger audience for God, by providing funds to…
- Multiply TLCC by launching our first multi-site campus in Paramus,New Jersey.
- Fund our +LIFE Local and +LIFE Global vision to "spread God's love in ever-widening circles."
- Make a significant payment toward the principle of our mortgage thus freeing up more funds to serve our KPORT Children's Ministry, Redline Youth Ministry and other ministries that help us “inspire people to the life God dreams for them."
For more and better Life,
Pastor Terry A. Smith
Why a Multi-site Strategy?
Multi-site churches have exponential impact. They grow faster, reach more new believers than single-site churches, and have higher percentages of lay participation and volunteerism.
- 85% of multi-site churches are growing at the rate of 14% per year on average
- New campuses tend to attract and baptize more unchurched people than the original campus
- Multi-sites have a greater evangelistic impact than church plants
- Multi-sites spreads healthy churches to more diverse communities
