Both born and raised in St. Louis, we have always had a great love for this city, and this church. After many years of serving in various roles, we now lead as Senior Pastors. We’ve been married since 2000 and have four amazing children.

Our highest calling of ministry is to our marriage, and to our children— and it is an adventure! We’ll gladly help you see our imperfections to remind you— family is messy and beautiful and worth it. We believe the church is the same. It should be a place where people are welcomed and embraced—no matter what.

We’re passionate about Jesus and His relentless love. Our hearts beat for people— for healing, restoration and growth. That only comes by true relationship with Jesus. So at LifeChurch, He’s the center of everything.

We hope you’ll come and encounter Him here and feel seen and loved. It is our prayer that together, we can be an echo of hope to the world around us.

LifeChurch was founded in 1980, after God gave a young man a great vision to reach this city. It began under the leadership of Pastors Rick + Donna and that vision was carried out for 35 faithful years. In this new season, Pastors Rick + Donna travel both nationally and abroad, encouraging and equipping leaders and pastors around the world.
