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 – Sunday morning services are held at 10:30 and Wednesday evenings at 7. We are located at 1506 Bannerman Road. We have an adult service, as well as a service for LifeWay Kids (1st-5th grade), a preschool class, 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 serving and volunteering. Either fill out a LifeWay Connection Card during a Sunday morning service or call the church office (850.660.0108). One of our staff members will be happy to help you get connected in your area of interest.

Join us for an All-Day Deep Sea Fishing Trip.  The total cost is $95 which includes lodging Friday night at a hotel, all day fishing on Saturday, license, gear and a great time.  We only have a limited amount of seats so this trip will fill fast.  Get your money in to secure your spot.  You can pay on-line or drop it off at the church.

Life groups connect people relationally in small groups for the purpose of growing in Christ through sharing life experiences, studying scripture and supporting one another in prayer and friendship. These groups vary in size, gender, location, time and spirit, yet all meet with the same goal of doing life together. If you are looking for a group for women, men, youth or couples, please contact Pastor David Hartz at dh@lifewaycc.com to get connected today.

“If we only knew that prayer moves the spiritual impasses we are involved in.  We do not fight against flesh and blood, but spiritual forces.  Our prayers are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds.” 2 Cor. 10:4

Our Children’s Ministry cares for and teaches ages Kindergarten to 5th Grade. Our kid’s ministry workers are all volunteers, and they are all talented and gifted in working with children.

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

Worship is one of the core foundations of LifeWay Community Church. Our songs and music connect the local church with God in a greater way.

We are a local church committed to extravagantly and passionately expressing our love to our Lord and Savior. God is worthy of our highest and our best.

We believe that God inhabits the praises of His people. We desire to clearly sense and experience God’s presence every time the church gathers. We want to connect intimately with Him and hear His voice so that more of His character and nature can be found in us!

LifeWay Worship, as a whole, is made up of an amazing team of regional worshippers who give of their time and lives to seeing God be magnified!
