About Us

Purpose

Above all, our cry is to be "a people of His presence." In one sense, our only purpose is to know Him (Phil. 3:10).

Within the context of that pursuit, the purpose of our church has four aspects:

1. To love God. (Worship)

2. To love our neighbors as ourselves. (Servanthood)

3. To grow together to maturity in Christ. (Discipleship)

4. To reach the world for Jesus. (Mission)

Statement of Faith

The Godhead: God is one Spirit Who eternally manifests Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father is the Source of all things; the Son is the Creator and Redeemer; the Holy Spirit is the agent of all life both in the creation of the world and in the regeneration of the sinner (Matt. 3:16 17; John 4:24; Eph. 4:4 6; 1 Cor. 15; Col. 1).

The Scriptures: The Scriptures in their entirety are the very words of God. They are Divine; they are infallible and inerrant in the original manuscripts (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).

Man's Fall and Redemption: Man is a created being, made in the image of God, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin entered the world (Rom. 5:14; Rom. 3:10; Rom. 3:23; 1 John 3:8). Consequently, all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are guilty before God (Eph. 2:3; Rom. 5:12; Is. 53:6; John 3:36; Rom 3:10, 23; Gal. 3:10). Jesus was sent to redeem man from God's punishment for sin...

Brief History

Living Faith began in Goshen, Indiana in January 1994, and after almost three years of renting place there every week, we purchased our present facilities in Elkhart, in September 1996.

Living Faith Fellowship and Outreach Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit corporation organized under the nonprofit laws of the State of Indiana and exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the ministry are tax deductible under Section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Meetings

Our highest desire is to be “a people of His Presence.” Therefore, we strive to be led by the Spirit in everything we do. In our corporate meetings on Sunday mornings, for example, “anything” might happen. During our meeting we might have a teaching time, or we might worship God for several hours, or there might be ministry by the saints in the gifts of the Spirit, or we might have a simple “family time” where people share what God is doing in their lives. Every meeting is different.

God is a creative God; He loves variety. And He is alive! We don't think that church should be boring! If God is truly with us then our meetings should be dynamic and transformational encounters with Him.

Structure

Led by Leaders in the Context of Teams: At Living Faith we are led by leaders and not by commitees. At the same time, leadership teams exist in every part of the life of the church..

Leadership Team

We are blessed to have many high quality people serving in various ways throughout our church family. A team of elders oversees, in a general way, the life of the church. Various other ministry leaders and helpers serve the church with vision and passion.
