Terry Leath is a rare human being. She carries herself with such grace, while also shouldering the burdens of others. Her capacity to serve and support her family, church, and those in need sets her apart from the world around her.   On a weekly basis you can find her playing piano on stage, as well as helping the worship arts team through mentoring, event planning, and the development of culture and community. 

Life Church would not be what it is without Terry’s heart for people and God. She is a gem, a diamond in the rough, and a blessing from God.

 We are so thankful for Dennis! He brings such thoughtfulness and fun into every area in which he serves. He has prayed often with our Prayer Team on Sunday mornings. He leads a young adults' group. You can find him in Fresh where he has a blast playing games and connecting with teens. He also brings that same excitement and engagement to LifeKids where he serves as a teacher. He is always creating new, fun ideas to include everyone (no matter what age) with that special Dennis flair. 

We love Dennis here at LifeChurch and now we get to enjoy his sweet wife Dasha as well. Thank you for all you do! 

 Terri Tucker has been involved in many different LifeChurch volunteer teams over the years. She’s known for her dedication and diligence. If there’s ever a need for cleaning up, you’ll find Terri in the middle of it, without needing to be asked! She never wavers or complains and is easily one of the friendliest people in LifeChurch, even the world! Her contributions are endless—from greeting, working at the food pantry, to doing her thing at the coffee bar. Her hugs are simply the best. 

Thank you, Terri, for your heart to serve and your gift in making people feel loved. We love you!

 Rob Radake has a heart of gold and a Kingdom perspective. He serves this church in many capacities, including running sound, using his skills as an electrician to fix or install things, and is always ready to step in and go above and beyond. He does this on a weekly basis when he cleans and wipes down microphones, equipment on stage, and the production booth in the back. He does these things without ever having been asked, and he does them with a heart of worship and gratitude. 

Thank you Rob for showing us what it means to serve like Jesus.

 Lupe is queen of serving incognito, behind many different LifeChurch scenes. She regularly and readily volunteers to contribute to our Fresh events by providing whatever it is that may be needed, and her heart for God’s house shows in her willingness to face any challenge or project head on— whether it’s leading multiple life groups, helping cook food for the men’s breakfast, setting up for our women’s events, or simply making sure on a weekly basis that the bathrooms are sanitized and ready for our church services. Her heart to obey and do what God has called her to do is reflected in every “yes” that she gives as a wholehearted offering. Lupe, we honor you today. LifeChurch is certainly cleaner, fresher, better, and more filled with joy because of you. 

Thank you for your generosity and faithfulness. You are so appreciated and loved!

We are so thankful for Staci and all the joy she brings to LifeChurch. Staci is always ready to step in with a helping hand. She has brought her love, compassion, and expertise in education into Lifekids by helping us better serve the families of LifeChurch. Staci is the epitome of the love of Jesus, and she shines her light bright in every encounter she has in and outside our church. 

Thank you Staci for sharing your big heart with us all! We are better for it.

Dan the Man! He’s your guy!
Dan Ingrim is one of those key volunteers who do so much behind the scenes to help keep LifeChurch in great shape! He repairs holes in the sanctuary walls, does other inside and outside building repairs, organizes our storage areas, prepares for Communion, serves faithfully at the Food Pantry, devotes time and resources to our Mission trips, and is readily available to do just about anything needed.  Dan is also a many-faceted Life Group Leader (sometimes co-leading with his wife, Eileen) on various topics like learning Spanish, making the church beautiful inside and outside, and teaching on the Holy Spirit – all within one session of Life Groups! Dan … we love and appreciate you beyond words! 

Thank you so much for all you do, whether seen or unseen.

This month we are happy to spotlight Sandy Dummerth as our volunteer for May.
Sandy is an amazing mother of eleven children, and has been serving LifeChurch since the beginning ... literally, since the church began in the early 1980’s. She has worn many volunteer hats over the years, and more recently you will find her meeting our new visitors at the Welcome Desk, preparing the elements for our communion services, serving on the JOYs planning committee, and even running errands all over town for the Food Pantry or whatever else is needed. Sandy is willing and HAPPY to serve our church whenever and however she can. 

Sandy, we love and appreciate you so much, and we are so very thankful for all that you do!

This super great guy is more than your average volunteer.
Gary G’Sell is like a superman who is everywhere … serving the Food Pantry onsite and offsite; weekly serving to prepare the building for various events and our awesome Sunday services; he and his wife team together to lead our amazing Greeters and spearhead our Trivia fundraising event for the Girls’ Home in Ethiopia. Gary has also led various Life Groups, particularly a men’s group that has been ongoing for several years! Gary has a servant’s heart that is bigger than you can imagine and everything he does displays God’s love for others.

Gary, we love you, we appreciate you, and we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do! Keep it up Superman!

Beth has such a servant's heart for this church. She has faithfully and happily served in Life Kids for years, organizing the monthly volunteers and making sure it runs smoothly every week. She has helped run Operation Christmas Child each year. She also helps with our women's events and anywhere else she is needed. She pours from the heart and spreads the love of Jesus everywhere she goes.

We love you, Beth!

This guy is a big teddy bear, but also a lion at heart when it comes to living life with and for others. Clarence is kind and sincere to everyone. He likes to have fun with other volunteers as well as our guests, whether he is greeting on a Sunday morning, serving at the Food Pantry, or leading a Life Group. 

Life is so very grateful for Clarence and how he loves others. Clarence, we tip our hats to you and thank you for being an excellent example of what it means to Dwell in Love and to Echo Hope to all those around you. 

We love you, Clarence!

Candice makes everyone’s life better just by being herself. She is an amazing leader, a friend to everyone, and a powerful prayer warrior who helps lead our volunteer prayer group on Sunday mornings. She loves God with all her heart and everything she does is bathed in prayer. She shows others how to walk closer with God as she prays with people through their toughest challenges and encourages them to stand on God’s Word. Candice faithfully volunteers at most food pantry distributions, praying and echoing hope to the people who enter our parking lot. She is a delight to be around and spreads the joy of the Lord everywhere she goes. 

We thank God for the gift of Candice, and we thank her for making Life better by sharing her authentic faith and journey with us. We love you, Candice!
