Enjoy a new kind of church experience

A new way of doing church has arrived at Christian Life Center! We've brought back the way church was done during the first 200 years of its existence in the form of a new morning service from 8-9 AM on Sundays. We will still have our usual 10:30 AM service, but by adding an earlier service with a unique format we hope to bring in those who are seeking, struggling, or have left church because they are bored. Check out our new, interactive church service Sundays 8:00 AM at Christian Life Center.

New Prayer Ministry

Christian Life Center is beginning a new prayer ministry focusing on intercessory prayer. Open to any adult who has the calling or gift to be a prayer warrior. Initially, the group will meet from 10:10 - 10:25 am in the church library on Sunday mornings. If you are feeling called to become a part of our prayer ministry, join us this Sunday morning at 10:10 am. Use the contact option at the top of this page to get more information.

Adventure Club for grades 1-6 will meet from 3:30 til 5:00. Middle school and high school students will meet for supper at 6:00, and then split up for games and Bible study/Christian living classes.

WHY GO TO CHURCH?

Church is a place to learn about God, study the Bible, grow in your spiritual walk, and fellowship with people who care about each other.

But did you know there are other well-documented reasons to attend church?

Compared to those who don’t attend church regularly, church attenders experience:

• Less depression and anxiety

• Longer life expectancy

• Improved cognitive function

• Better overall health

• Stronger family relationships

• Greater connection to community

We invite you to experience the benefits of being part of a church family. Visit us this Sunday at Christian Life Center.

OUR STAFF

We look forward to meeting you, learning how we can minister to you, and how we can help you grow in your faith and relationship

with Jesus Christ.

WORD FROM THE WORD

We have heard a great deal in recent years about the decline of Christianity in America. We hear about church attendance declining, churches closing down and pastors giving up on ministry. But what we don't hear about in main stream media is good news and more recent trends that show a dramatic increase in younger people taking an interest in the Christian faith. Here are some highlights on more recent trends.

A Barna Group study conducted in January and February 2025 with 3,579 online interviews found that 39% of Millennials (roughly ages 28-43 in 2025) report attending church weekly, a significant increase from 21% in 2019. That study also notes a broader resurgence in commitment to Jesus among those under 40, particularly Gen Z (ages 18-27) and Millennials, with a 12-percentage-point increase in personal commitment to Jesus among U.S. adults since 2021 (from 54% to 66%). Early 2025 data shows U.S. church attendance increased to an estimated 32%, up from 28% in 2024, with Gen Z (21%) and Millennials (19%) significantly contributing to this uptick.

Bible engagement in the U.S. increased by 3 percentage points from 2024 to 2025 (from 38% to 41%), equivalent to about 11 million people. Notably, Millennial men saw a 29% increase in Bible use, and overall male Bible engagement rose by 19%. U.S. Bible sales increased by 22% in the past year, with publishers noting a rise in first-time buyers, particularly among younger demographics. A survey of 2,030 undergraduates (39% Christian, 36% no religion) found that 50% of respondents, including non-religious students, expressed interest in reading the Bible in their spare time.

I believe America is on the brink of one of the largest Christian revivals we've ever seen. It's especially encouraging to see that young people, especially young men, are coming to faith in Christ and reading the Bible, which is important because God has said, "So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.
(Isaiah 55:11). Let's all pray this trend continues and that God will be glorified in America once again.
