Our Mission
At Light of Christ, our mission is "to reach out with God's Grace to help people know, trust, and share God's purpose for their life”
Our Core Values
Know GOD
We believe each member at LOC is at a different place, on the same journey to becoming a disciple and that knowing God is a personal relationship. Knowing God is the spiritual foundation in which we can then trust and share God.
Trust GOD
We believe in order to grow in our commitment to God that we must trust God. We believe in His promise and invite Him into every aspect of our lives.
Share GOD
We believe in the power of connecting people to Jesus. Through God’s grace, fellowship, evangelism and living a godly life we are opening the hearts of others.
