CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE TIMES ARE 10AM, 4PM, & 6PM CT

At Word of Life Church...

We are experiencing a holy convergence of seven traditions.

___________________

We are more than nondenominational; we are interdenominational in that we are experiencing the convergence of seven traditions and the gifts they offer, including: Orthodox mystery   ☩  Catholic beauty  ☩  Anglican liturgy  ☩  Protestant audacity  ☩ Anabaptist peacemaking  ☩  Evangelical energy  ☩  Pentecostal reality  

Join us this fall, online or in person, for an eight-week interactive discussion to strengthen your faith and your understanding of our church's uniqueness.

"I'm at home with Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, Anabaptist, Evangelical, and Pentecostal Christians. There are people from all of those worlds that I am completely at home with."

—Pastor Brian Zahnd

"May they all be one. As you, Father, are in me
and I am in you, may they also be in us."

—Jesus' High Priestly Prayer (John 17:21)

"Instead of searching for reasons to dismiss other traditions, I began looking for the ways God had worked through them. Instead of asking, ‘Where are they wrong?’ I began asking, ‘What gifts do they offer?’"

—Pastor Derek Vreeland
