Worship at Lord of Life typically begins with a time of praise and worship led by a praise team of instrumentalists and vocalists. All the words for the songs and everything else you need is projected on our two large screens. We include two Scripture readings, a sermon, time for prayer, an offering, communion and a blessing. Our mission is to connect people to Jesus and each other, so our services and opportunities to serve are intentionally designed to be meaningful and impactful.

Music on Sunday morning is best described as positive, upbeat, and God-honoring. Most of our music is Christian praise and worship songs, focused on Jesus, that has been written in the last few years. However, it is not uncommon to hear a good old hymn.

No, but it’s up to you. We believe the offering is an opportunity to honor God with one more part of life, namely our money. We don’t give an offering because we think that God needs our money or because we feel obligated to do so. The Bible tells us that God desires a cheerful giver. If you feel led by God to bring an offering, we would encourage you to do so, and join with us in discovering the blessings of generosity.

The first 10% of Lord of Life’s offering is given to Christian missionaries, missions, and ministries both locally and globally. The remainder of the offering goes to support the ongoing ministries of Lord of Life Church to make Jesus known in the Fox Valley Area. This includes children’s ministry, youth ministry, women’s and men’s ministry, Bible study and small group resources, guest services, our building costs including mortgage and utilities, compensating staff to lead day to day ministry and other ministry costs.

Weekly. Communion is celebrated every Sunday at both services and during worship on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday and Thanksgiving Eve.
