We desire to reach people in our community with the good news of Jesus Christ, one home, one neighbor, one neighborhood, at a time.

“Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. But how shall they ask Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him? That is what the Scriptures are talking about when they say, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace with God and bring glad tidings of good things.”

- The Apostle Paul, Romans 10:13-15 (NLT)

We are committed to loving our neighbors and helping them come to faith in Jesus Christ. We are dedicated to seeing whole neighborhoods impacted with the Gospel, one home at a time. Faith begins at home, eventually reaching into our communities and the world.

“A majority of the unchurched (57%) wonder why their Christian friends and neighbors never talk to them about spiritual matters.”

- Thom Rainer

A thriving church moves forward on its knees. We want to be increasingly known as a people of prayer. We desire to see prayer as more than something which is done before or after meetings, but as something interwoven throughout every element of what we do, both as a church and individually.

“From Him [Jesus Christ] the whole body, joined together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”

- Ephesians 4:16

We’re convinced that people grow and serve best when they connect with others in community. Growing into maturity must include community with other Spirit-filled believers. Jesus, who is the head of the body (church), works through it to bring health and life to others.

This is why we emphasize the importance of being in mid-sized Community Groups, smaller Life Groups, along with men’s and women’s groups. We need each other.

We want to be known as the church in our community that helps adults succeed in two of their most precious relationships: their marriage and kids. All families need help, whether nuclear, single or blended.

We believe that giving couples and parents solid, practical tools in marriage and parenting is a fundamental means to expressing Christ’s love. God created families. His Word tells us how to make strong, healthy families. Life Bridge feels an increasing urgency to dedicate our resources toward making vibrant homes.

Strong Christian families make strong churches and communities.

The church and home work best when they work together. God places the primary responsibility of the discipleship of sons and daughters upon the shoulders of parents, but the church must come alongside to equip and encourage parents in this very important task.

To do this, our church follows what we call The Legacy Milestones Pathway which capitalizes on major milestones children pass on their way to graduation from high school. Our children, youth and family ministries provide training, resources, counsel and encouragement and our whole church body celebrates when certain milestones are achieved.

We also provide well-balanced children’s and youth ministries to supplement what parents are doing at home. For more information visit www.lifebridgewauconda.org/ministries.

To say that we live in a day of gender confusion is an understatement. Many do not know what true masculinity and femininity look like. At Life Bridge we’re committed to restoring biblical manhood and womanhood to its rightful place. Doing so helps men and women celebrate their unique differences given by our Creator.

We desire to raise up a generation of sons and daughters, men and women, who embrace their unique complementary styles, understanding how to live in harmony with one another. These men and women then actively mentor the next generation in the art of biblical manhood and womanhood.

Hundreds of individuals call our neighborhoods home. Many of them need more than food and clothing. They need extended compassion and healing from brokenness and addictions. Life Bridge wants to increasingly be a church that gives aid to those in our community experiencing physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We will enter into people’s pain whether it is marital strife, divorce recovery, healing from abuse, to name a few. We want to be a strong, helping presence in our community.

By God’s grace we will see these things happen at Life Bridge as we seek to make disciples, one home at a time. All will be deeply rooted in a passionate pursuit of Christ, deep worship, a rich understanding of God’s Word, community with other believers and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

“Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, striving side by side for the faith of the gospel.”

- Philippians 1:27
