Welcome to Life Church

We exist to

Lead People to Experience Life Change in Jesus

In March 2014, Life Church launched in Appleton in the heart of Fox Valley inside the Marcus Valley Grand Cinema. In August 2020, we moved into our permanent location downtown Appleton.

Join us for engaging worship, authentic community, and a Biblical-based message from our Campus Pastor Caleb Essick or a member of our teaching team. And we offer safe, age-appropriate environments staffed with amazing Team Members, where your kids can learn about the Bible at their level.
