SPIRITUAL LIFE CHURCH
MISSION
“Spiritual Life Church is submitted to the Spirit of God, to minister to a multi-cultural society through the demonstration of God’s love and power in the spirit of excellence, in fulfillment of Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Spiritual Life Church (SLC) knows their calling is to spread the Gospel to our Jerusalem, which is the Twin Cities. Our Samaria is the 5-state area where we send the Gospel by television and college graduates to start churches. The world is touched by this church by their mission giving and going of our people to the mission field.”
VISION
“Spiritual Life functions in God’s divine order and inspiration: to glorify God the Father by bringing men and women, boys and girls into the fullness of life through a saving knowledge by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who calls them to become the people of God, that they might effectively do the work commissioned by God. This commission is to go back into the world to increase the fellowship of believers, who through the power of the Holy Spirit will influence society through their demonstration of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We are a growing and witnessing body of believers with national and international churches and bible schools. God has said He would send into this house people of diverse cultures and nationalities, and He is faithful as we see the truth of His word every week.”
