Live your Summer on Mission
Join us as we love & serve with intentionality all summer long
We know summers are busy in Buffalo, but we’re challenging EVERYONE at Life Church to intentionally commit to just ONE of the local opportunities below (OR sign up for all of them!).
Whatever your schedule, we’ve made sure there’s an opportunity for you to live on mission this summer.
God doesn’t take the summer off, and neither will we!
