Family Life Center Guidelines
We welcome your participation in the FLC programs and activities. Our goal is to maintain a Christian environment that is clean and safe for all our members, guests, and their children.
We have developed these guidelines to insure the most effective operation of our facility. Please
review them carefully & keep in mind this is the House of the LORD .
Our Mission
To provide opportunities for people to experience the abundant life through
Jesus Christ; for individuals and families to be strengthened; and for
individual gifts and talents to be developed and utilized.
Our Vision
- To be a bridge ministry through which Church members may introduce their friend and family to the Gospel in a fun and friendly environment, and where personal goals for self-improvement may be realized.
- To be a lighthouse to our community as a place that shows the acceptance, joy, and love of Christ.
- To be a home for “Body Builders,” where individual families and the entire Church family can be built up, and a place where the whole person will be encouraged and strengthened.
It is our desire to make membership to the Family Life Center affordable and accessible to all our Church members, their families, and friends. We request that you respect these guidelines and our staff as they monitor our many activities.
