What People Are Saying

“Church Life is not another ‘church growth’ program or event. Church Life unfolds clearly the life-giving principles God designed for continuous and fruitful church health. The power and guidance of the Holy Spirit
is promoted throughout all of the Church Life principles. We are thankful that God has strategically directed us to utilize and implement this life-giving model for church development and advancement for our entire district.”

Greg Hackett, Senior Pastor
First Assembly of God, Lafayette, Indiana

"The educational cohort has helped me to break a cycle of recycling. Personal development, along with assessments of the church’s ministries from internal sources as well external sources, has released the creativity in me and in the leadership. It also has provided a map for us to guide the changes in a strategic way. Has it been difficult? Yes. Has it been worth it? YES."

Mike Harper, Target 1,000 Director
North Texas District of the Assemblies of God

The goal of education is transformation. Through the Church Life Educational Cohort, I experienced personal and ministerial transformation in an environment fueled by relevancy, driven by practicality, and empowered
by a spirit of renewal. I will never be the same again! North Texas District will utilize Church Life as the primary component of helping us reach our goal of 1,000 healthy churches.

Donald and Diane Gifford, Superintendent
Indiana District of the Assemblies of God

“Church Life is a thoroughly Pentecostal model of building healthy churches. The journey is a process that WORKS!”

Brad Leach, Senior Pastor
Church of the King, Detroit, Michigan

"As a twenty-eight year old church planter, I wanted to work on my Masters Degree in a program that would help me develop the philosophy and tools for a lifetime of local church ministry. Through the Church Life Cohort, I’ve found what I was looking for. I can’t imagine an educational experience being more practical."

Wayne Murray, Senior Pastor
Grace Assembly of God, Indianapolis, Indiana

"The Church Life Educational Cohort is exactly what I needed for my ministry. If my church was to go higher,
I had to reach higher in my leadership and relationship skills. In many ways, I was the one keeping the
church from fulfilling its full potential. I had a thousand excuses why I couldn’t participate, such as I
don’t have time, and I am too busy. Thank God I didn’t listen to the excuses."

Terry Yancey, Superintendent
Kansas District Council of the Assemblies of God

"I am convinced the Holy Spirit prompted Dr. Wayne and Sherry Lee to launch Church Life Resources, a ministry dedicated to revitalization of the local Pentecostal church. This principle-oriented process awakens hope and confidence in pastoral leaders. The process is working in Kansas."
