Adults and families can engage through specialized ministries, including Life Groups, Life Track, and outreach initiatives.

I love attending and being a part of Life Church. There are signs and greeters to help guide you where to go when you walk in. People are so friendly and welcoming. The Life Kids area does a wonderful job showing the love of Jesus through kindness and teaching of God’s word. The worship music in service is great and I love how engaging the church staff are. The message each week is thought provoking and inspiring! The community of this church is something you will want to experience and be a part of! :)

The first time I walked into Life Church, I was warmly welcomed (and left with a free movie ticket!). The following week, people remembered my name and that alone made a huge impact! Been going there since 2017. The staff and volunteers really love and care for the members and visitors of the church, which in turn makes the members love and care for each other. The pastor's messages are engaging and witty, convicting and applicable to every life circumstance. The children's program is fantastic and my daughter always looks forward to attending. My family loves being part of this church.

Coming to Life Church feels a lot like coming home. The environment is so warm and welcoming. Pastor Jeff is fantastic - very down to earth, relatable, and funny. There's always something new to learn every week during service. Worship is always great - the presence of the Holy Spirit is very tangible and we have a great worship/tech team. All in all, I just love Life Church. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a church family to do life with.

I love Life Church Appleton! It's so great to have a warm, friendly church to take my family to. My kids love their services, and my baby is well taken care of in the nursery. I can just sit back and relax in the service knowing they're safe and having fun. In the service, I enjoy the contemporary songs and bible teaching. I laugh a lot, and have made so many friends. This church is home.

We have been part of this church family for 3 years, and we can’t imagine growing in Christ anywhere else! You will be warmly welcomed as soon as you walk in. Fantastic kid’s ministry with staff who will love on your children and help them come to love the Lord! Our campus pastor, Dan, is funny and relatable- and preaches in a way that encourages you. Our small groups offer several to help you build relationships and grow in God’s image. You won’t regret coming to check us out!

The people, the preaching, the worship, all top notch. From the moment we walked through the doors we were treated like family. There are signs that clearly directed us so that we never felt lost. The "auditorium" is fully equipped with super comfortable seats (that recline!!!). The service is super impactful and truly life-changing. I can't wait to visit again!

Been attending Life Church for about 4yrs. Our pastor, Jeff Lister, is one of the best at giving a Sunday morning message. He is so dedicated to God's mission and the people of the Appleton Campus. The leadership of Life Church couldn't be better presenting the Word and running the organization. Come and be a part of this loving church.

This is my favorite church, and the best one I've been a part of in the Valley. The kids program is fantastic, and my kids always look forward to it. Worship is contemporary and extremely well executed. The movie theater seats are the most comfortable anywhere.

Life Church has amazing people that attend, greet & pastor the word. I always look forward to attending the service and connecting with attendees. They feel more like family than anything. Great place to get connected!

I love the sincerity of worship at LC; no pretense, just lifting up Jesus. The teaching is biblically sound; the folks are friendly. Life Groups allow for deeper connection, which is awesome. It was a great place to "land" after a prior painful church experience. Grateful for LC.

I love this church! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. I am so impressed with their children's department where children can come and engage in worship and scripture in an exciting way. 10/10 would recommend!

I love the Appleton Campus! The team is always extremely welcoming and it makes it feel like home. The messages and the music are always great. By the end of the service, You forget that you’re in a movie theatre!

Amazing. Low traffic between theater rooms. My son was able to watch a movie with friends. The room was rented out so they had the theater all to themselves. Very safe and clean.
