Overview

This update celebrates how Life.Church joins the global, capital C Church to reach people for Christ. Through free resources, church-to-church partnerships, the Bible App for Kids curriculum, and the collective generosity of attenders, God is drawing thousands—children and adults alike—into His family. The report highlights a Fresno church plant, testimonies from Easter 2016, and a fresh call to keep serving, giving, and inviting because “whoever finds God finds life.”

Themes

1. The Capital C Church Vision

• They contacted Life.Church for help and launched The Current in 2008 using freely provided tools, messages, and systems.
• Results: Hundreds have come to know Christ locally; globally, more than 300,000 churches and leaders now use Life.Church resources.

4. Easter 2016: Celebrating Salvations
