Our mission
Life Chapel exists to help people know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference.
OUr VISION
We are a church who knows God intimately. We experience His presence daily through a real, genuine relationship with Him. We live every day with increasing righteousness, joy, and peace. We believe we can change and we’re empowered to do it because God is alive in us.
We are a church who experiences freedom every time we encounter the presence of God. In His presence our perspective changes, mistakes and shortcomings no longer define us, habits and addictions no longer hold power over us. In His presence we encounter grace; our past is forgiven and our future is reimagined.
We are a church who creates environments where people feel safe to take off their masks and get real about who they are and what they’ve gone through. We compassionately guide people through the scary task of confronting their pain, leading them to the place of healing and hope.
We are a church who sees our purpose and calling clearly. Vision drives us. Passion fuels us. We choose to live with intention, rather than passivity. Our desire to live out our God-given purpose is not with selfish intent, but rather to introduce those around us to God’s great love and grace.
We are a church who is alive and on mission. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we make a difference. We lead people who are far from God to the place where they can experience His love. We look for ways to add value to humanity. We are givers of grace. We develop, mentor, and invest in others so that their lives are enriched and their potential is realized.
We are a church who empowers the next generation, emboldening sons and daughters to rise to greater heights. We are a church who joyfully invests in the advancement of God’s kingdom. We unleash strategy, creativity, and resources to transform communities, birth ministries, plant churches, and send missionaries.
We are a church full of faith and power. We will not be ignored or dismissed. We are a force for good in Colorado Springs and the surrounding region. We are making a difference in the world.
— Pastor Bryan Merritt
What We Value
Jesus
Everything we do at Life Chapel points back to Jesus. He is the One we worship and the One we proclaim. Our desire is to introduce as many people as we can to Him, so they can discover what real living is all about.
Family
We are a church committed to ministering to the whole family. We offer ministries designed to help people in every stage of life. We also focus on providing a life-giving, safe environment for kids to learn about God and grow in their faith.
Scripture
God’s Word is crucial because it provides us wisdom for life. It shows us who God is, why we were created and how to experience His love. Every week, you can hear a scripturally-sound, Bible-based message with real application for your life.
EncouNTER
God longs to connect with his creation and minister to His people. Every time we come together for worship at Life Chapel, we experience the life-changing power of Jesus in a real and tangible way. In His presence we are changed and made more like Him.
COMMUNITY
We believe in doing life together. Whether through our Life Groups, Serve Teams, or one on one relationships, we know there is so much strength in the community of faith that is the church. We like to say we are a family on mission. Family is what it feels like!
OUTREACH
We are called and equipped by God to make a difference in our world. We believe in living our lives on mission. From personal evangelism to local and global missions to showing up and being the hands and feet of Jesus, we are here to add value to humanity and be salt and light.
