Giving
At LIFE, generosity is at the heart of who we are. We believe that giving is not only a privilege but it is also our responsibility as Christ followers. It is an opportunity to partner with God in building His church. When we give, we’re investing in lives being changed, communities being transformed, and the message of Jesus being shared. Thank you for partnering with us to impact and change our generation with the reality of Jesus.
