Welcome to LifeWay!
A Great Church for the Real World …
Thank you for visiting LifeWay! Our vision is to move people into a real and growing relationship with Christ. Our purpose is to connect people with God, each other, and the world.
Connecting With God – Worship with us Sunday mornings at 10:30 am & Wednesday evenings at 7 pm. We are located at 1506 Bannerman Road. We have an adult service, as well as a service for Middle & High School, LifeWay Kids (1st-5th grade), a preschool classes, and nursery. Come check us out!
Connecting With Each Other – The best way to connect with each other at LifeWay is through Life Groups. In a Life group, people study God’s Word together and are in a safe environment to discuss the issues and challenges of life. It’s also where they pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don’t show up.
Connecting With The World – We connect with the world through Random Acts of Kindness. Either fill out a LifeWay Connection Card during a Sunday morning service or call the church office (850.660.0108) to find out ways to get involved. One of our staff members will be happy to help you get connected in your area of interest.
AMP’d Youth Ministry Sports Night. In addition to our Sunday Night Youth Service @ 6 PM; Every Wednesday evening from 7-8:30 pm, join us for “Wednesday Night Under the Lights”. This is a relaxed outdoor time for our middle & high school students to bring their friends for a time of sports, great music, inspirational devotional and pure radical fun.
In a world where secular institutions, television, movies, and popular music all offer temptations that blur what God promises His people, there is a need for our children to understand how to protect their faith. In Proverbs 22:6 we are commanded to train up a child “in the way they should go.” Our Vacation Bible School with the theme “The Armor of God” will allow parents and teachers to do just that, helping children to understand how to protect their faith and put on the “full armor of God” each day. This VBS is designed for our children 1st – 5th grade. It will begin during our Sunday morning celebration at 10:30 am on August 8th & continue for 4 evenings Sun. –Wed. at 7 PM. All are welcome so invite your friends, family members & co-workers to join us. This program is absolutely FREE, but we need you to RSVP. Simply send us an email pe@lifewaycc.com to register your child.

Summer Revival Aug. 8th – 11th
How would you describe your Christian life? Are you satisfied with it, or do you hunger for more in your relationship with God? Chances are, if you’ve experienced the person of the Holy Spirit, you’ll want more, because no matter how much the Holy Spirit saturates us with His presence, each encounter only scrapes the surface of what we can encounter in the glory of God. His heart yearns to commune with you, though, and cries out, “Don’t go away- don’t be satisfied without my presence!” Paul writes, “The [intimate fellowship] of the Holy Spirit be with you” (2Cor. 13:14b): “Holy Spirit with us” is the key to an increasingly satisfying Spirit-filled life, a life hungry and desperate for encounters with and intimate knowledge of Him. Join us August 8th – 11th for 4-intense days of seeking the heart of God together!
Whether you are 18 or 80, married or planning to be, this cruise of a lifetime is fr YOU! Close your eyes for a moment and try to picture this scene: blue skies, warm sun, the vast expanse of the beautiful Caribbean Ocean while strolling the decks of an elegant cruise ship working on the most important earthly relationship you have with the one you love.
Marriages today face a mountain of challenges. Busy schedules, family-of-origin issues, work expectations, addictive behaviors, affairs and dwindling romance all conspire against healthy marriages. Often the mountain of marital problems seems insurmountable, prompting too many couples to give up and consider divorce as their best option.
Consider this sobering data:
Sixty-seven percent of younger Americans agree that “when parents divorce, children are more prone to develop serious emotional problems.” Marriage in our culture has weakened, since the 60’s the divorce rate has doubled, while the number of divorces has tripled. In a recent study of divorcees, the majority wished they had tried harder to salvage their marriage. Before making any life changing decisions contemplate this; is there another way to escape the tragedy of divorce and recover hope for your marriage?
Consider these positive outcomes in strengthening your marriage:
When marriages thrive child well-being improves, “on average children of married parents are physically and mentally healthier, better educated and enjoy more career success in later life than other children.”
Utilizing our multi-day format you’ll be processing issues directly related to your marriage. You and your mate, along with other couples will have an opportunity to learn and apply new strategies crucial to the process of making these breakthrough principles a permanent part of your marriage. You will also receive many new communication tools to establish and strengthen your marriage.
Whether you’re feeling challenged in your marriage, or just want a better plan for the rest of your lives, I know this cruise will help you make real progress. What better time, and what better place, to focus on the most important earthly relationship you have…your marriage.
