Life Center North Foursquare Church was planted in 1999 as a small group from Life Center. After meeting in homes for a few months, God opened up the door for us to meet at Northwood Middle School and 500 people showed up on our first Sunday. God has been awesome, stretching us and growing us into what is now a church of over 1200 people meeting in four services. It is obvious to all of us that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves and the Holy Spirit is at work. Literally hundreds of people have come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, been baptized and are now following the Savior. Our church is called to play an important part in restoring broken lives. In 2005 we started Serve Spokane, a non-profit organization whose mission is to serve and love hurting people throughout Spokane with food, clothing, shelter, addiction recovery and support for people with special needs. Life Center North has a huge heart for the global harvest; we are supporting church planters, building wells, fighting malaria, and planting churches in Africa, Nepal, and other countries. We have always been a train and equip kind of church: we founded the Spokane Ministry Institute where we disciple believers, develop leaders, raise up pastors and help plant churches. We have seen graduates of our program launch churches inter-denominationally. Both Serve Spokane and Spokane Ministry Institute are city wide and inter-denominational in their approach. God has called us as a resource church to build up the body of Christ in Spokane and around the world. Recently we launched Catalyst, a credentialed Bible training program for 18-24 year olds which is an immersion discipleship residential program. Life Center North is a spiritually passionate environment made up of people from all walks of life who come together to get real, experience God, have fun, and be changed more and more into the image of Jesus Christ.
For the past 8 years we have been leasing an old theatre and this has worked great for us. The owner has terminated our lease and he will be demolishing the building in order to develop his land. We have one year to relocate yet we know God is in control. We want to continue reaching out to the hurting world around us with the good news of Jesus Christ. So with that in mind, we began the capital campaign to raise funds to purchase a facility. At the same time, doors opened and doors closed as God clearly pointed the way to the Division Street property. Our goal of $2 million was not raised, but what we did raise will provide an operating facility sufficient for our current needs
