Associate LifeKids Pastor

About the role

At Life.Church, we exist to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. It’s been our mission since 1996 and has guided us every day. Our children's ministry, LifeKids, provides relevant, age-appropriate learning and connection opportunities for kids from birth through 6th grade. LifeKids is dedicated to partnering with parents to help raise children to have a strong relationship with Christ.
