AXIS SERVE DAY
THE LIFE CHURCH
For 13 years, our church has been putting a dent in the darkness of Westchester County, and the surrounding New York region, through the Good News that calls people away from living without meaning or purpose and into a relationship with God. For many of those years, we ministered out of portable contexts but more recently have enjoyed the acceleration of our impact with the opening of our first permanent building. The world is constantly selling us the lie that living large is about what we possess but Scripture tells us that living a truly blessed life is about what we release. More acutely, like faith and sacrifice, obedience can be measured in dollars. In the pages that follow, you will see a number of opportunities where you can you can help make a difference. This booklet is an invitation really…an invitation to help resource our rootedness and our reach so that people that are far from God, but close to us, can have the encounter with Him that they desperately need. It will take each of us to reach everyone. We are honored to be walking alongside and serving with people that shun hoarding and are more focused on seeing the harvest of people yet to experience a life full in Christ. We hope you’ll continue to enjoy how this church rooted in the burbs will keep pushing forward to reach people in the borough’s of New York and beyond! Our giving should make a statement for Christ regardless of our state in life. Making a difference with you, Wayne and Classy Francis Lead Pastors of The Life Church New York VISION 2024

Everything we do is about pointing people to Him. On top of that, 975 people have visited our church for the first time and 194 people have graduated Discovery this year! We know that this is just the beginning and that we will see even greater things happen in 2024. Our church building is now more than half way paid off and, through the Vision Offering, we will continue to pay down our debt in the months ahead.

Whether it’s advancing existing regions of The Life Church or launching new locations, this fund is designed to prepare us to say yes when God opens a door. As of the printing of this brochure, we are evaluating several God-opportunities to expand The Life Church into more regions around the world. VISION 2024
We believe that the local church is the hope of the world. Both here in the U.S. and across the globe our church is working to bring the light and love of Jesus to people everywhere. The Bible encourages those who are blessed to bless others – that’s why we feed the hungry, why we create spaces for the hurting, why we respond to disasters, why we help plant churches, why we work to reunite families and why we won’t settle. It is why we will do what we can to help every person that we can. Our Vision is great because the need is great. In the next year, our efforts will reach tens of thousands of people. We are pushing forward to serve and invest more than ever to bring help that transforms lives and changes families. It will take each of us to reach everyone. Let’s continue to be a church that is quick to help those in need and see more people come to know Jesus. Together we can accomplish great things! With love,
