About Us
Life Church was birthed from John 10:10 - "The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy but, I the Christ, have come that you might have LIFE and LIFE more abundantly. Life Church or Friday Night Church (as most people have come to know us) has existed in Rolla, Missouri since 2006. Services were started on FRIDAY NIGHT to accommodate todays families consisting of many parents who work weekends and are therefore unable to take their families to church on Sunday. Life Church began in the home of Pastors John and Saucy Thompson. As services continued, the pastors home was no longer sufficient to accommodate the increasing congregation. With deep prayer and ample search, Life Church discovered "The Centre" (a local community fitness center that desires to help the community as much as we do). Thus, Life Church began to congregate in the conference room of "The Centre" every Friday night until a facility opened up to accommodate the needs of the congregation. Three and a half years later, Life Church moved into an old engineering firm known as the Mead building. We at Life Church are excited to see what God does from here.
On a more personal note, we are a group of people driven by the power and presence of God. We know that God longs to be known by His people and that His plans are to prosper us, not to harm us, and to give us hope and a future. The word says that Gods people perish for lack of knowledge. He desires for us to know Him and to know His word. God has a plan and purpose for every individual. If we do not have knowledge of his purpose then we are destined to wonder in the wilderness of life. Our goal is to help everyone understand who God is, what His purpose is, and how to connect to God in a real way, thus fulfilling His plan and His purpose for their lives.
