Our Ministry in Action

Partnering for Impact

We partner with trusted local and global organizations to bring hope and help where it's needed most. By providing financial support, resources, and volunteer teams, we share the love of Jesus in practical ways—meeting real needs and making a lasting difference in our communities and around the world.

Reaching Near and Far

Our heart is to be the hands and feet of Jesus—whether across the street or across the globe. Through Local and Global EXtensions, we meet real needs, support trusted partners, and bring the love of Christ to life in practical ways.

Local Extensions

In the regions of Monroe County and Jersey County we ask God to reveal local needs and guide us with His compassion. We work with regional community leaders and trusted partners to help advance the work God is doing through them. By offering practical help and volunteer support, we eXtend Christ’s love right where we live.

Global Extensions

Globally, we partner with missionaries and mission groups to bring relief and the Gospel to those in need. We support their work through giving, mission trips, and prayer, while also equipping those in our church who feel called to the mission field. Together, we make a difference that stretches far beyond our walls.

Why Israel Matters

At LifechurchX, we believe that Israel holds deep biblical significance. Our support for Israel is rooted in God’s Word, not politics. We recognize Israel’s role in God’s eternal plan and stand in faith and prayer for its people, while also maintaining God’s heart for all nations.

Everlasting Convenant

God made an everlasting covenant with Israel that still stands today.

End-Time Role

Israel is central to end-time prophecy. Scripture tells us that Jesus will return when His people recognize Him as Messiah.

Heart of Compassion

We support Israel and pray for all people affected by conflict, including the innocent and the lost, trusting God’s redemptive plan.
