Life Church (MI) Attracts 275 to Opening Celebration
CANTON, MI (April 1, 2003) - Life Church celebrated its grand opening Sunday as
275 attended worship services and a picnic at Field Elementary School,
according to pastor Alex Rahill.
Life Church began weekly services during the month of January in a suburb
of Detroit. Sunday's service doubled in attendance compared to the
congregation's first weekly service.
"It was an unbelievable day," said Rahill. "We had one person accept Christ
and five others came to church and recommitted their lives to Christ -
people who hadn't been to church in years. I was planning on 200 or 220,
but our core group was awesome in this and we've had people making
decisions for Christ every week since we've started weekly services."
Alex and Marcie Rahill had previously worked with a youth ministry at
Messiah Church, a Covenant congregation in Detroit. The church is hoping to
reach the Gen X age group and uses an upbeat worship style to draw younger
people from the area. The church is hosting a concert at a local theater as
a way to meet the community. It has been producing a group of songs and
will host a CD release party in May.
