Our Mission & Purpose

Our Mission

Why does Life Church of Athens exist?
Our mission is to help people discover and experience abundant life in a relationship with Jesus Christ that would be expressed in community to every neighborhood in Athens and to the ends of the earth.

Our Purpose

What we do as a church is based on Acts 2:42-47.

  1. WORSHIP: Celebrating God's Presence
    They devoted themselves to...breaking bread and prayers and praising God.
  2. FELLOWSHIP: Incorporating God's Presence
    They were devoted to the fellowship. All the believers were together. They ate together.
  3. DISCIPLESHIP: Educating God's People
    They devoted themselves to the Apostle's teaching.
  4. MINISTRY: Demonstrating God's Love
    They gave to anyone who had need.
  5. OUTREACH: Communicating God's Word
    They added to their number daily those who were being saved.

Jesus gave these instructions to the church:
Matthew 22:36-40, Matthew 28:19-20

Jesus' ministry emphasized all five of these:
John 17:1-26

The first church did these things:
Acts 2:1-47

Paul explained these:
Ephesians 4:1-16
