If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ and asked Him to forgive your sins and invited Him into your heart, let me encourage you to stop what you are doing, and pray the simple pray below. If you pray this prayer to God with all your heart, you will be saved from your sin and receive everlasting life. If you would like, you can contact a prayer partner or pastor of  LifeChurch by phone Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. who will be willing to pray for you and lead you into relationship with Jesus Christ.  We also want to hear your testimony about how God has led you to this most significant decision to give your life to Jesus Christ. If you would like to submit a prayer request or praise report by email please send it to our lead pastor Randy Rice randydrice@yahoo.com . We look forward to hearing from you.

The prayer below is simply an encouraging guideline that millions of people have prayed to receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life through Jesus Christ.  May it help and encourage you to express your heart to the Lord Jesus in your own words.  God Bless You!  We at LifeChurch hope to see you and talk to you soon.

Prayer of forgiveness and salvation:

“Dear Jesus, I believe in You with all my heart. I know that You died on the cross for my sins, and rose again from the dead for my salvation. Please forgive me of all the sins that I have committed against You. Cleanse me from my sinful ways, and change my heart so that I can live for You. I ask You to fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I can have power over temptation. Help me to know your love deep down in my heart. I thank You for eternal life that You promise to all those who believe in You. I ask You to help me serve You from this moment on in my life.  Help me to read and understand the Holy Bible.  Help me to learn how to pray and serve You everyday.  I give You my life forever.  I renounce and reject all that is sin and anything displeasing to You in my life.  I desire to live for You, love You and know You with all my heart. Thank You for saving my soul and giving me everlasting life.  I pray all this in Your name Lord Jesus, Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer, the Lord saved your soul and gave to you everlasting life. Please call the church prayer line at 777-4771 Monday through Thursday to tell our staff that you prayed and asked Christ into your life. We have a Bible and some important information to give you about your decision to follow Jesus Christ. Let me encourage you also to send us a praise report by clicking the icon on the right call “Share Your Testimony” and sharing your name, contact information and praise report.

Following is what we believe at LifeChurch and as followers of Jesus Christ.  I hope you enjoy reading our 16 Fundamental Truths of the Holy Bible.

16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God

(A/G web sites: ; Ohio A/G)

These are nonnegotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. This list is derived from the official Statement of Fundamental Truths.

  1. WE BELIEVE … The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
  2. WE BELIEVE … There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
  3. WE BELIEVE … In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.
  4. WE BELIEVE … though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
  5. WE BELIEVE … Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through ‘Salvation’ (accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness for sin). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
  6. WE BELIEVE … and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
  7. WE BELIEVE … the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
  8. WE BELIEVE … The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
  9. WE BELIEVE … Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
  10. WE BELIEVE … The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
  11. WE BELIEVE … A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church.
  12. WE BELIEVE … Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
  13. WE BELIEVE … in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the A/G]
  14. WE BELIEVE … in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. At that time many in the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as the Messiah, the Savior who died for them and all mankind.
  15. WE BELIEVE … A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
  16. WE BELIEVE … and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. ‘And so shall we forever be with the Lord!’
