Launching in 1993, we purchased our current building in 1997 to house our growing congregation. Within 3-4 years, we began to hit the ceiling of our limited parking and sanctuary size. In 2010, we moved to two Sunday services but they were soon both at capacity. We also purchased adjacent property to expand parking and build at our current location. Over the past few years, we’ve prayerfully clarified our vision, mission and values. And we continue to grow—new people, more small groups, expanding kids and youth ministries.

This growth leads to the constant challenge of significant restrictions, with both seating an parking inadequate. Our spaces all do "double-duty" as the Sanctuary also functions as a Youth space, and classroom for Life Discovery School.  The Life House (previously the parsonage) holds offices, Life Group space and youth ministry on Sundays.

Our mission to grow with God, connect with people and serve with purpose is often confined by the restrictions of our facilities. Therefore, new ministries and fresh ideas are tabled for “somewhere down the road.” Most of all, we feel the restriction upon our desire to reach more people for Christ in our community. 

We have renovated every space in our church building, as well as the Life House multiple times. But the 1955 cornerstone on our building speaks the truth. We minister in a dated facility that was not designed for our life-giving congregation. It has become a box that restricts us with all that God has called us to do.

In March 2024 we launched FORWARD VISION - a 2 year a congregational initiative designed to raise the additional monies that will bridge the gap between our current financial holdings and the anticipated $4-5 million construction loan for the new building.

This FORWARD VISION move will take us to a new level of capability to serve our community, with continued regional impact in the greater Philadelphia area. And the “GO” value for world missions and church planting will grow to a whole new level.

After extensive financial analysis, we projected that our 24-month fundraising capacity to be in the range of $350,000 to $650,000. At this halfway point, our pledged amount exceeds $700,000 and we are over halfway to that goal!

If you call Life Church "home",  we want you to get involved and ask the Lord to connect your heart with what He is doing through our church. Listen for Him to give you direction on how He would have you participate in the Forward Vision. No matter the dollar amount you feel led to give, we believe that if you give what God has placed on your heart, we will see the fruition of our prayers as we build for the future of God's kingdom in Springfield and central Delaware County.
