F. A. Q.

What does Life Christian Church offer for children?

Children are of primary importance at Life Christian Church. We believe that that the training of children and the passing on of values is one of the most important things that we do as a church! The wise man Solomon adjured: “Train up a child in the way that He should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Some of our ministries to and for children include:

1. The dedication of infants and small children to the Lord during a “dedicatory service.” These services are held intermittently throughout the year.

2. We teach Biblical child rearing practices.

3. We have a children’s choir which practices every Sunday morning at 9:45 am under the able direction of Jessica Dunham. The children’s choir performs once a month during a Sunday morning Adult worship service.

4. The children perform in a children’s musical once or twice a year in front of the entire church.

5. We have very dedicated and talented teachers teaching our age and grade appropriate classes on Sunday mornings. Under the very capable direction of Rose Dunham, public grade school teacher for the past 25 plus years, the Sunday school department has adopted the slogan: “Lansing’s finest hour.” It is the Sunday school department’s goal to make the hour children spend in religious training at Life Christian Church – the finest hour of religious training in Lansing.

6. We have a quality nursery for children. Michelle Beltran has worked in our Sunday morning (11:00 am) nursery for over several years and loves the infants.

Why does Life Christian Church desire to be a “book of Acts” church?

We don’t want to reinvent church. We want to be the church that Jesus started in the book of Acts!

The book of Acts in the Bible describes how the church began. The Lord had carefully planned the inception of His church: He started His church right!

It is the job of the modern day church to discover how He started His church, what the ingredients of that first church were, and imitate that church.

We were given the prototype on “how to have and build a church” in the book of Acts. We need to study this prototype and reproduce it today. It is not God’s plan that we construct our own church with our own emphasis, methods, and doctrine, but that we become a part of His church employing His emphasis, methods, and doctrine.
