Life Family Church
The dynamic and diverse congregation at Life Family Church continues to experience growth and expansion!
Dr. Jack Myers and his wife, Pastor Marie, established the church in 2010. “We are excited to welcome new people each week,” they shared. “In the past year, we’ve added a bookstore, remodeled portions of the building’s interior, and resurfaced the parking lot. Our congregational members are enjoying the updates growth brings.”
Interestingly, more than 50% of LFC members serve in the church’s various ministries. So, with a balance of energy, wisdom, and resources, LFC is wellequipped to continue its evangelistic outreaches. Twice now, Channel 10 news has reported on the church’s perseverance and community- service accomplishments. And LFC has been recognized as a Gold Winner for the “Best Place to Worship” category in the “People’s Choice Awards” presented by the Tampa Bay Times.
“We believe our church is thriving because God is inspiring our people to minister to locals in our community parks and schools,” Dr. Jack explained. “Through our Common-Unity Program, we also encourage the first responders in our fire and police departments along with our teachers!”
Because education is such an integral focus of LFC, the church has formed a homeschool co-op for members. “We train our young students to ‘Stand and Deliver,’ explained Dr. Marie. “They will learn to research, defend logically, and respond with Scripture and solid answers when questioned.”
And the entire community is invited weekly evenings on Tuesdays 7pm for prayer and for the Hour of Power service on Wednesdays 7pm.
Using a grid to map their reach, the church has visited, prayed for, and invited people in virtually every Plant City neighborhood to discover Jesus. “Over the last 14 years, we’ve been very strategic about serving others locally,” explained Pastor Marie. Community outreach to share the gospel in larger venues has also been effective in introducing people to Christ.
The public is invited to the church’s upcoming “Word & Spirit Conference” at its campus from September 8-10, 2023, nightly at 6:30pm and at 10:30am on Saturday and Sunday. Childcare for ages 1-5 will be provided during these services.
Also, on November 3-4, 2023, LFC team members will assist an affiliated church with a “Great Awakening” outreach in Bartow, FL.
From the transformational testimonies of families whose lives have been blessed, it’s no wonder God is expanding the reach of Life Family Church. Visit LifeFamilyChurch.net online, Life Family Church on social media, or phone 813-708-2783 to learn more. Better yet, visit in person!
Jack Myers Ministries
In addition to pastoring, teaching and training, the Myers do crusade evangelism. Since 2007 they have ministered in more than 20 evangelistic crusades in 13 countries and 38 states – with miracles following.
With a heart for world missions, the couple has taken more than 700 missionaries on crusades over the years, seen over 1,000,000 people accept Christ, and have met mayors, governors, and presidents.
For example, during their 2022 campaign in Nagua, Dominican Republic, the Mayor presented the team with a key to the city. He was thrilled that more than 5,000 attendees during the three-night outreach accepted Christ as their Savior.
“We had planned eighteen months for this trip,” Dr. Jack offered. “And as a result of God’s desire to be in relationship with the people He created, we witnessed miracles and healings in Nagua area churches packed with people who wanted to experience more of God’s love.”
This month, JMM will take a “Special Ops Team” to minister in San José de Ocoa, the capitol city of that Dominican Republic province.
Plans for a crusade in Mexico in 2024/2025 hold high expectations for new converts in a population of 72 million.
“Our greatest joy is seeing people respond to the Gospel message because we know God’s power changes lives forever,” explained Dr. Jack. Since his personal encounter in 1993, his passion to share the Gospel with as many as possible has only increased. God is growing the ministry exponentially and accordingly, Dr. Jack’s books are now available on Amazon in English and Spanish, too.
“Seriously,” he added, “to watch new believers follow Jesus with all their heart, soul, mind and strength makes every effort worthwhile.”
