A few thoughts from Pastors Brian and Denise Grothe
- What drew us to serve as pastors was a clear call and passion to equip God's people according to Eph. 4:10-12.
- What we love about being pastors is seeing the fruit of that equipping in peoples' lives.
- The thing we would love newcomers to catch in their pursuit of God is their divine purpose, which will take them into a closer relationship with the Lord and His promises for them.

About Us

the Pursuit
People need God, not the idea of God, not religion, they need God. The living, moving, unconditionally loving Creator, who came to us, gave Himself to us through His life and love, was sinless yet redeemed us through his crucifixion, and lives today.
That is why we pursue Him.
the Purpose
Do you know what your purpose is? Do you have a purpose? Why are you special anyway? In our pursuit of God, purpose is found. The purpose that says you are His and no one else's.
the Promise
Jesus came into the world to save sinners, not the righteous, not the holy ,but those who needed Him. The promise is that
if you need Him, He is always there.
Mission Statement
To facilitate an atmosphere of life in which lives can be transformed by the life giving power of Christ.
Vision Statement
To grow as a body, to function in the flow of the Spirit, and Love of God while redefining the meaning of church in our community.
As the body of Christ on this earth, it is imperative that we never find ourselves stagnant in our approach to our relationship with Jesus Christ and to each other. One of the easiest ways to become stagnant is to not have a clear and concise direction for the body.
God
We believe in the one ever-present, eternal God: infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purpose; and possessing absolute, indivisible deity. This one true God has revealed Himself as Father in Creation, through Jesus Christ in redemption, and as His Holy Spirit dwelling within us.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, a divine revelation from God to man. We accept the Scriptures as the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God. God manifested Himself in the flesh as a man, being born of a virgin; He lived a sinless life, was crucified on Calvary for our sins, and bodily rose from the grave. He has been exalted to the throne of God where He is the only mediator between God and man by His atoning redeeming sacrificial death on the cross. We believe that through His death and life we have personal salvation and power for victorious living.
Salvation
We believe that all men have sinned and stand in need of redemption, which is obtained through the new birth by faith in the shed blood and the Lord Jesus Christ. Those repenting of sin and being born again through baptism and taking on the name of Jesus become children of God and heirs with Christ.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that God's Spirit is active in the world today and that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the privilege of all New Testament believers.
The Church
We believe the Church has been "called out" of the world to be a habitation of God through His Spirit. As the body of Christ on earth, the church offers hope to mankind. The church is one body made up of many members, diverse in their gifts and calling of the Holy Spirit.

Children's Ministry
Our children are a high priority. Our heart is that our children know Jesus and how much He loves them. We have teachers on a rotation basis. If you need more information contact the church at (517) 442-4405
Prayer, Healing and Deliverance Ministry
We will pray for Salvation, needs, healing, and anything that you as a visitor may need. We believe healing belongs to us because of what Jesus has done. As Christ's followers we are called and empowered to pray for the sick (Mark 16:18). We believe in a Supernatural Culture. A culture that expects the supernatural intervention of God (Acts 2:43). We believe in a Culture of Honor. An honor that lays the foundation for an empowering culture where value for others is demonstrated because they have been created in the image of God and are valuable to Him (Romans 12:10).
Prophetic Ministry
In Prophetic Ministry the heart of God is revealed and grace is released for His purpose to come to pass over the one we are ministering to. The Gift of Prophecy is given to the church in order to build up, lift up, cheer up people. (1 Corinthians 14:1)
Soaking Prayer Ministry
At Lifehouse Ministries communicating and listening to God through prayer is our primary focus. On Wednesdays, at 6:30pm, we meet at the church for a time of prayer and listening to what the Lord is saying. For more information on soaking contemplative prayer contact the church at (517) 442-4405
Teaching Ministry
At Lifehouse Ministries teaching the Word of God is also a top priority. Teaching biblical truth that can be lived out is what we aim for. Equipping the believers to live a supernatural lifestyle through the power of God's Holy Spirit.
Worship Ministry
At Lifehouse Ministries our first priority is to God, and so we set aside time on Sunday mornings to worship God together through music and Word. We believe in passionate worship to our God, you might see, hands raised, tears, dancing, banners, prophetic singing, all forms of expression to love and worship our God.
Additional resources for Inner Healing -
Sozo
"Sozo" is a Greek word meaning wholeness in spirit, soul, and body. It is used 110 times in the New Testament to describe Jesus' healing ministry. Is. 61:1-6; Mt. 9:22
Sozo is a model and approach for helping people find freedom from sin, wounds, spiritual entanglements and lies that they believe. It is under girded by foundational and Biblical understandings. It is flexible, confidential process that has been proven helpful, healing and freeing to many people around the world over the last 10 years. It is designed for use as a lifestyle for everyday people like you and me.
It is not counseling. It is God-led, gentle and relational process carried out in a private conversational format, in which the person is encouraged to get to the roots of those things hindering their personal connection with God and others.
Breakthroughs in the spiritual and relationship realms occur as the team ministers the love of the Father through this honoring and confidential inner healing ministry.
Is Sozo for Me?
If you want to understand and be able to deal with spiritual-emotional issues in yourself or in your relationships with others. If you want to experience God in a whole new way. If you are willing to be stretched a bit in order to reach more healthy, whole, and joyful relationships - Then this ministry may be for you!
A Sozo session may last 1.5 - 2 hours and is conducted by two team members. This team will sit down with you and with the help of the Holy Spirit walk you through the process of freedom and wholeness. Sometimes after walking out some of the truths revealed to you, new life issues arise and another session may be helpful.
