Our Story
Our Beginning
Launched in September 2020, Life Church was born out of a deep desire to reach the people of Pickering and the surrounding Durham Region with the life-changing message of the Gospel. We are a church plant that grew from the vision and support of Christ Almighty Baptist Church, with a mission to glorify God, make disciples, and build relationships in our community.
A Journey of Faith and Commitment
Our journey began with a small group of passionate believers coming together, united in their love for God and their desire to see the Kingdom of God expand in the GTA. Despite challenges—especially during the height of the pandemic—our team remained committed to the calling to plant a new church where people could experience community, biblical teaching, and meaningful worship. Over the past few years, we’ve seen God’s faithfulness in how He has grown our congregation, strengthened our relationships, and enabled us to serve our local community in new and exciting ways.
A Church on Mission
At Life Church, we are not just a Sunday gathering; we are a community on mission. Our goal is to live out Christ’s call every day, reaching those who don’t yet know Jesus and providing a space for believers to grow in faith. From small groups to local outreach, we strive to be a light in our community, committed to making a difference both locally and globally.

Growing in Depth and Discipleship
While Life Church is still young, our vision is to grow not just in numbers, but in spiritual depth. We are passionate about making disciples who make disciples—helping people take their next steps in faith through small groups, baptism, service, and leadership development. Our commitment to discipleship is central to who we are, as we seek to raise up leaders who will impact the community and beyond.
Looking Ahead: A Heart for the Future
As we look ahead, we are excited about what God has in store for Life Church. Our goal is to continue growing in size and spiritual depth, building lasting relationships with God, each other, and our community. We are committed to being a church that impacts lives for generations to come.
