Life Gate Church

"Love my Life Gate Church! Searched a very long time and found where I need to be to hear GOD's word as He would have it told. A place you can call home and the people become family."

"My family and I have been members of Life Gate Church since 2000. I can say that if not for the acceptance, love, support and teachings that we have received here we would not have received the blessings that God had for us. We always feel loved by each and every person that attend here. Each week we learn something new and applicable to each one of our lives. We love our church!!"

"When I first arrived at Life Gate Church (then The Church at La Fayette), 26 years ago, I had no idea that I would still be there today or how far the Lord would bring me during that time. While there, I have learned so much! The in-depth teaching- the charge from the pastor to not take his word for it - EVER- SEARCH THE WORD FOR YOURSELF. That is so important to our salvation. You have to know what the scriptures say, what the context is, what historically is going on in the world when the words were spoken...it all works together to give a fuller picture and better helps us to apply the Word to our lives today. My parents come to special events at the church and laugh that they have as many friends at Life Gate as they have at their church and my Dad always marvels at how much scripture used in all of the sermons. They also love the notes given every Sunday because they go back over them during the week when they have more time to study and prove everything out for themselves. After raising one son from birth to 23 while at Life Gate and watching him go from sitting in the congregation as a baby, to Children's Church, through our teen program of Elevation and eventually teaching Children's Church before leaving for college, I just can't say enough about how important it is to raise up your children in the House of the Lord. Not just drop them off, but come with them, watch them grow and learn and move up in the Kingdom. He now takes a turn at leading Praise and Worship when our leader, Terry Williamson, is out of town and it just brings tears to my eyes to see him following his passion and using his talents for the Lord. Now my daughter, who is 10, is in Elevation and following in her brother's footsteps and finding her way into her purpose. There are wonderful teachers in our Youth Program to help the kids learn about Jesus and loving the Lord with all their heart, soul and strength and loving people the same way. I can't wait to watch how she grows and develops! I look forward every week to my time with my family at church. We are a bunch of people who have hangups, faults, and sins. But we are also a bunch of people who love Jesus, love each other and want very much to show the love of Jesus to our community."

"Amazing church! Love the people here. They are a true family and show God's love to anyone that walks through the doors. Pastor Delbert presents the Word of God in a deep and insightful way. I always learn something new every Sunday. I can speak for my wife and kids when I say..We love this church!!!"

"The Word of God presented in a real life, usable fashion and leadership that is available and willing to be there for you and your family when they are needed. That is what 26 years of "Reaching up and Reaching Out" have given. I LOVE MY CHURCH!!!"
