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.

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.

Dear Friends,

A life-changing opportunity is coming your way February 28 – March 9, 2011! You’re invited, to join a select group on a discounted trip to the Holy Land.  We will walk in the footsteps of Jesus in the Land of the Bible.  Imagine standing where Elijah stood when God sent fire down from heaven, or walking on the shore of the sea of Galilee where much of Jesus’ ministry took place.  We’ll hold a baptism service in the Jordan River, and tour the dessert region, and see for ourselves what Abraham saw.  We will then go up to Jerusalem, the City of God, and walk the cobblestone streets that Jesus walked on His way to Golgotha’s hill.  It’s is truly amazing! All throughout the trip we will pause for times of worship, prayer, scriptural application, and great fellowship.

Israel is a land of biblical miracles and modern day ones too…it is a place like none other on earth holding special meaning for Jews and Christians alike. We’ll visit the Dead Sea, En-Gedi, Masada, the Holocaust Memorial and the Garden Tomb…held by many to be the site of Christ’s resurrection. You’ll get a perspective that you won’t find in any commentary or word study.

As you look over this brochure you see we will be going to all the major sites and more. We will fly Delta Airlines nonstop from Atlanta to Tel Aviv. For those desiring to use their air miles, you can save $1,200.00 off the trip price.  After we arrive we will travel in a luxurious motor coach for the land portion of the tour. All of our hotels are rated four-star and you will enjoy eating all of the different cuisines. Along the way you will marvel at the beauty and diversity of the land.

The trip price can be broken into monthly installments to make it more convenient. I look forward to having you join us on this trip of a lifetime to where it all began.

God Bless,

Pastor Eli Hendricks

First, we’re thrilled that you’ve decided to join with our church body to fast during these 21 days that starts on January 3^rd – 24^th, 2010.

Second, the list of foods we’ve provided is merely a first step to get you thinking about making better food choices. Remember, this fast is about growing your relationship with God. And He’s not as concerned about what is in your stomach as He is about what is in your heart.

Daniel’s decision not to eat the king’s food was an outward symbol of an inward commitment he had made to God. Let your choices over the next three weeks reflect the hunger your have for God’s presence in your life.

Since there is no definitive list of foods for the Daniel Diet, it is truly the spirit of Daniel’s decision that we are imitating over the next 21 days. If there is something that is not specifically listed that you think still qualifies as a ‘food of the king,’ then ask God to reveal to you whether it should be part of your diet over the next few weeks. The details of the fast are between you and God — use this time to focus on Him.

God is certain to bless your life in new and exciting ways during the fast. We encourage you to write down your prayers and the many ways God reveals Himself to you. We can’t wait to see what God is going to do in your life and in the life of our church.

Fasting Guidelines

FOCUS
The fast, as explained in our weekend service, is a spiritual discipline designed to better connect us with God. As a church, we are fasting in order to deepen our relationship with God and to walk in step with His plan and purpose. The best way to do this is to redirect our food source. This is accomplished through substituting our regular food intake with Bible reading, praying and journaling. The overall goal is to experience a genuine hunger for spending time with God.

MENU
The Daniel Fast is a partial fast, which means that we will eliminate some common things from our daily diet, but will have generous options available. We will focus on eating fruits and vegetables that are pure and simple. We have included a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid.

If you have any condition which would prohibit you from being a part of the Daniel Fast, there are other options. Choose something from your daily routine (i.e. specific foods or beverages, television, other technology, etc.) and fast in that manner for the next 21 days. Remember, the details are not as important as the spirit in which you participate.

*If you have any known medical conditions or suspect such conditions, consult your doctor before beginning the fast
