Greater Life Church meets for Sunday celebration service at Stoney Creek Hotel & Conference Center: 5291 Stoney Creek Ct, Johnston, IA 50131
Greater Life Community Church came into existence in the hearts of a core group of people in the West Des Moines area in 2000. Planning, prayer, consulting, training preceded the launching of the church and the first service in July, 2002. We first met in the Western Hills Elementary School in West Des Moines. Growth in the first two years necessitated a move to Indian HIlls Jr. High School in Clive. Every Sunday for nearly eight years a Set-Up Crew unloaded over 20 customized carts from a 41 foot trailer and prepared the buildings for worship and Children's Ministry.
We began with a core group of 40 people and have grown to a ministry that includes over 200 people. Greater Life Church continued to grow and develop. In January 2011 we were able to move out of portable church into a leased space in Urbandale.
The Church continues to connect with people in the western suburbs with a simple purpose - to reach, nurture and develop seekers to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. The Church Family does this simply in providing a path called the Journey to Growth and Greater Life (JOG). This JOG path contains four simple markers or classes in which a person can learn more about what it means to be follower of Jesus Christ and a connected member of the church family. Dozens of people have found a home at Greater Life Church in the past few years and are enjoying a relationship with Christ and with the church family.
We exist to reach, nurture and develop seekers to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Hope!
