What Is Discipleship?

Disciples are people who are committed followers of Jesus, living by His power and His will in their lives. In other words they are members of the body of Christ, the Church, and do the work of God in the world.

Discipleship Opportunities

Children Youth and Family Discipling Ministry

We guide the Christian nurturing of children from preschool through tenth grade. Through Sunday education classes, special events at various times of the year and parent directed teachings; we help the family unit work together to discover the wonder of Jesus.

Lutheran Youth Organization (LYO)

Our youth are active in a number of ways through the LYO. We have monthly events including events including Ga-Ga ball, The Harvest Bash, Lasertron, The Vollyball Marathon and many more. All of our events are built around three key elements, devotion to God, service to the world and friendship with one another. We hope each event is an opprotunity for our youth to see the many ways which God is at work in their world. Find us on Facebook!

Adult Discipling Ministry

We never outgrow the need to learn more, especially in our faith life. This ministry team plans and offers programs and events to foster the continued spiritual development of adult members and friends of Lord of Life. Through weekly discussions after worship, bible study groups and special exploration events and programs throughout the year, we can grow in our relationships with each other and with God.

Faith Alive

Is a six week experience helping people to explore how God is at work in their lives, who God is and how God gives us life in all its abundance. It is designed not only for people new to Lord of Life and the Church in general but also for those exploring their spirituality. It is a profound and life changing experience.

Global Outreach

We recognize that the Church is called to look outward, to the rest of the world, and serve God’s people in all places.  Lord of Life has sent teams to New Orleans to work with the people and places devastated by Hurricane Katrina.  We have also been working with Resurrection Lutheran Church on Buffalo’s impoverished east side to serve the people in that community.  We are continually seeking new opportunities to serve God’s people.

Pastoral Care Inreach

Sometimes we could all use a little extra help. We are here to support each other in times of need. Members of our community have been blessed with the gift of mercy, a gift they can share with you. Their ministries include transportation, visitation, grief support and communion distribution. The team will also assist, on a short term basis, with elder care, meals, chores and pet care.
