Where we started

LifeShare Church was birthed February 2017. Launched from Destiny Church, a team of five families were sent out to begin a new church with the mission of connecting the lost sons and daughters to their good Heavenly Father. Meeting bi-monthy at Igo library and the remainder of the days within the Thevaos home, it did not take very long for growth to prompt prayers for a new place to gather.

Where we are now

In 2018, after much prayer and searching, the Lord opened up an opportunity for us to rent a space at The Well (Bar/Restaurant/Dance Hall). The space we needed to grow was a blessing to us! The Well provided room for adults to gather and two spaces for our children to meet. God gave us much favor with the owner as we sought to be a blessing to her even through the challenging season of the pandemic.

Easter 2023 was our first Sunday at our new location on 5359 Casa Bella St. In 2022, we signed the lease to a building that was a former Birthday Party place. Coming out of the pandemic, the cost to renovate was high, but praise God, He supplied the right help and price for the completion of the space in which we can worship each Sunday as well as gather for smaller events throughout the week. In the near future, expect to find a Coffee shop open six days a week for the community and church members alike.

MISSION

Connecting people to a loving Heavenly Father in everyday life.

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10
