After a year of dreaming, praying, and planning, Pastor David, Ginelle, and their three kids were joined by a team of 40 people who launched Lifesong Church on September 10, 2006. Their focus was, and still is, connecting the disconnected and unchurched to Jesus through inspiring, relevant experiences that help people reach their potential in God. The church has grown to become a multi-site church that continues to reach the disconnected and unchurched. Lifesong has helped plant hundreds of churches through ARC and invests more than 10 percent of its income in missions and outreach. We love inviting people to see for themselves how exciting church can be when the structure is simple and people are free to go after God with passion.
