In this year of “Come, Follow Me”, we have become even more aware that Jesus is always leading us into more. The Bible reminds us that He is the God of exceedingly, abundantly and above all that we could ever ask, and He invites us to reach out for more, to carry His heart and become passionate about what He’s passionate about it - it all comes back to one thing:
IT'S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE.
What could happen if we made space for one more? If we could bring help and hope to one more house, one more street, one more suburb? Expansion is an invitation for us as a church and as individuals to consider how we could reach further into the community around us, a call to go into all the world and tell others about Jesus, rather than waiting for them to come and see.
Our Expansion Offering is an opportunity to partner together with our finances to make an impact and create change in our generation with the reality of Jesus through our Facilities, Kingdom Partnerships and Community Outreach.
We invite you to be a part of what God is doing through us as a church, and play your part in seeing His Kingdom extend further.

PLAY YOUR PART
You can be a part of Expansion by giving financially towards our Expansion Offering, as well as serving practically during Help & Hope Week. We encourage you to take time to prayerfully consider how God might be asking you to be involved.
The heart of LIFE Community is clear: to bring help and hope to our community, so that we can reverse the cycle of poverty – not just for those we serve, but also for the generations that follow. In a global climate charactised by ‘less’, we know that through our generosity and God’s provision, we can bring more to those around us and see lives, homes and cities changed.
Facilities:
His House, Our Home
At LIFE Adelaide our heart has always been to have a building that not only draws people in, but serves as a gathering place for believers to connect and worship together. While our current facilities have served us well over the past 14 years we recognise the need to invest in refurbishments and building upgrades that will continue to serve us into the future God has for us.
Through a number of practical purchases we truly believe that we are poising our church for greater kingdom and community impact. It’s never just an upgraded chair, or space for a new information desk, it’s about creating an atmosphere of warmth and a place of invitation to welcome new friends into our family for years to come.
Heart of Kingdom
From the very beginning, we have been a church that is committed to carrying a Kingdom spirit – one that embraces the bigger picture of what God is doing beyond our walls. Whether by helping grow local churches, or reaching into the nations of the world through active partnerships, LIFE carries a passion to invest into the wider body of Christ.
Expansion Offering
By giving to our Expansion Offering, we’re paving a way for more people to discover who Jesus is and what He has done for each and every one of them. This offering will go towards creating further space in our facilities for people, empowering Kingdom partnerships and extending our Community outreach.
We’re so grateful for your prayerful consideration in what part you can play and invite you to record your commitment on the giving card below.
