WHO WE ARE

Life Church was birthed out of Victory Apostolic Church in Matteson, IL by Senior Pastor Isaac B. Greene and First Lady Delunda Greene under the leadership of Senior Pastor Andrew D. Singleton, Jr. Prior to starting Life Church, Senior Pastor Isaac B. Greene was a founding member and served as Pastor over Spiritual Transformation and Youth Ministries for 20 years.
 
Life Church was founded on June 12, 2016 at the Marcus Theatre in Orland Park, IL by Pastor Isaac B. Greene and First Lady Delunda Greene along with his family, 30 faithful volunteers and 450 families and friends. Currently, Life Church worships on Sunday and Bible Study on Wednesdays at Atrium located 4151 183rd Country Club Hills, IL.
 
We are a non-denominational church that believes, teaches and preaches the word of GOD to "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16 NKJ). We believe that Holiness (to be separate, unique, different) is God’s greatest gift to humanity as it teaches us how to love our God, Ourselves and Others. Holiness reroutes the individual from a path of destruction to a path of destiny according to the purpose and plans of almighty GOD.
 
The revelation for the name of Life Church was birthed through Jesus command to His disciples in Matthew 16:25 “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”
 
Life Get’s Better, Better and Better at Life Church as we serve as God’s vessels for transforming lives through Jesus Christ. Our goal is to create a community of Hope, Healing and Higher Expectations. This is accomplished through our ministries for new members, children, youth, women, men, singles, seniors and young adults. Our Life Transformation Cycle provides resources and tools for Loving, Learning, Living and Leading others to Christ so that we can Live In Faith Everyday.

LIFE VALUES

 Have some questions about our ministry? Find the answers below. 
  • We Value Bible-Centered Preaching & Teaching

    We believe that the Bible is the infallible, inerrant, immutable, authoritative Word of God. We strive therefore to preach and teach the Bible as God’s Word and the trustworthy rule for faith and practice (II Timothy 3:16-4:2).

  • We Value People

    We recognize the eternal value God places on every person and commit ourselves to love and care for others as humans created in His image. We further seek to fulfill Christ’s great commandment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, and to love one another as Christ loves us (Mark 12:31; John 13:34-35).

  • We Value Servant Leadership

    We believe that church leaders are, above all, servants of our Lord Jesus Christ. We recognize that servant leaders are to watch over our souls and that spirit filled, godly Pastors are an invaluable asset of the church (Matthew 20: 25-28; Hebrews 13:17).

  • We Value Christian Education for all ages

    We believe that understanding Scripture is a catalyst for transforming, enhancing, and growing lives; therefore we are committed to the ministry of Christian Education as an indispensable foundational ministry that must undergird all other ministries of the church (II Timothy 3: 14-17; Psalm 1, 119; Nehemiah 8:8).

  • We Value Praise & Worship

    We believe that we are created to glorify God and an expression of this is our acknowledgement of His supreme value and worth in our personal lives and in the corporate, contemporary praise and worship of the church (Acts 2:47; Ephesians 5:18-20; Psalm 150).

  • We Value Fellowship & Community

    We recognize the church as a community of believers whose fellowship is enriched by their relationship with Christ and one another. We are committed to assembling ourselves together for worship, fellowship, encouragement, and service (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:24-25).

  • We Value Evangelism

    We believe that Christ demonstrated His great love for the lost and has commissioned His church to follow His example of pursuing, winning, and making disciples of all men (Luke 19:10; John 20:21; II Corinthians 5:14-20).

  • We Value Cultural Relevance & Biblical Authority

    We believe the Bible is timeless and timely, and that cultural relevance is necessary to meet the contemporary needs of mankind. Therefore, while changing our methods to minister to others we remain committed to the unchanging message of the Word of God, allowing our doctrinal foundation to guide our contemporary ministry of music, arts, advertisements, preaching, teaching etc. (I Corinthians 9:19-23;II Timothy 4:2-5).

 STATEMENT OF FAITH

GOD
We believe there is only one true and living God. He is immutable, indefatigable and infinite. He is not only a reality; He is the Ultimate Reality, an intelligent Spirit, and the Creator of all. He is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus is Savior, Lord Christ, and the incarnate reality of God. He was the walking revelation of God’s love to humanity; He embodied grace; He died on the cross for the redemption of God’s creation; He got up on Easter morning to confirm to the world that God is still in control of Heaven and Earth.

CHURCH
We believe in the church; the church is the prolonged incarnation of Jesus Christ; His body, bride and building witnessing to the world through word and sacrament; the church is a fellowship of regenerated men and women called out to live together in community life.

SCRIPTURE
We believe that the scripture is God’s Word. It is his written authority for the Church; the scripture was given to ordinary men through inspiration; the scripture is inerrant in principle and infallible in content.

MANKIND
We believe man was created in the image of God; God breathed his life into man; man voluntarily rebelled against God and fell from a state of perfection, thereby experiencing separation from God; consequently, all men are sinners. By choice, man is redeemable through Jesus Christ in his only hope to experience once again the peace of God.

SAVING GRACE
We believe in God’s saving grace; that the blessings of salvation are free to all through the Gospel; that the requisite of acceptance is a thankful, penitent and obedient faith; that nothing interferes with the salvation of the sinner except his refusal of the Gospel; man’s disbelief is his condemnation.

SALVATION
We believe that justification is being brought into a right relationship with God; His position is accomplished without consideration of good works (of righteousness); that justification is the pardoning of sin, the gift of eternal life displays God’s love for human-kind, and that by faith in the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ was His righteousness given to us.

BAPTISM
We believe baptism is an ocular demonstration of God’s inward renewal in the life of the believer; in baptism our names are changed. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we are placed under the authority of God’s power and protection. It is the symbol of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection to a new life. It is a prerequisite to the privileges of the church in relation to the Lord’s Supper. Jesus Christ took bread and wine established them as the imperishable symbols of the church. The Lord’s table is open to all people in the faith who desire to fellowship with Him.

VIRGIN BIRTH
We believe in the Virgin Birth, Mary, mother of Jesus, conceived him by the Holy Spirit. He is without sin. He was born of a virgin as no other man in the past or in the present can ever be born. He is both the Son of God and God the Son.
