CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST
About us
We believe that the church should be a genuine place, a place that is warm and relevant to the lives of people in any situation.
We believe God has given us an assignment; to connect men and women to Christ, bringing those that are far off, near to God.
Some of the visitors to our website are searching for direction and answers to some of life’s most challenging dilemmas.
It is our desire that the search will lead to the discovery of the unconditional and healing love of Jesus. No matter your station in life, forgiveness for sin is available to everyone.
God has pursued you relentlessly through His son’s love. God sent His Son, Jesus to suffer the wrath of a Holy God against sin, in order that we might be forgiven.
We pray you have experienced this incredible truth in your own life. Tree of Life Family Christian Center is made up of people just like you, and it is a place with something for everyone, regardless of your stage in life.
Tree of Life Family Christian Center is focused on making Disciples of Christ through the taught Word of God.
It is a place where the Word of God and worship work together to bring people into a deeper relationship with God.
We seize every opportunity to set the atmosphere and tone, where families and
communities can be strengthened.
