As we look back on this past year, we are filled with gratitude—for every story of life change, every step of faith, and every person who has helped build Jesus’ Kingomd through Life West. What God is doing in and through this church is nothing short of powerful, and we believe with all our hearts that this is only the beginning.

We don’t just celebrate what has been—we celebrate what is coming.

At Life West, our mission has always been clear: to see everyone equipped and empowered to be and do all God has for them. Every service, every conversation, every act of generosity, and every moment of worship is part of that greater story—people finding God, discovering hope, pursuing freedom, and stepping into purpose.

And the future? It’s full of opportunity.

We believe God is continuing to position our church to reach more people than ever before. There are still so many in our communities searching for truth, longing for belonging, and waiting to encounter the life-changing love of Jesus. Together, we get to be part of that mission—right here, right now.

As we move forward, we are committed to building a church that:

• Creates space for people to encounter God in real and personal ways

• Invests deeply in the next generation

• Equips people to live out their faith beyond Sunday

• Expands our reach to impact our region and beyond

This is not just about growth in numbers—it’s about transformed lives. It’s about seeing families restored, purpose awakened, and hope renewed. It’s about eternity.

We are so expectant for what God is going to do next. The vision ahead is bigger than us, but we serve a God who is more than able. And we’re so grateful that we get to walk this journey together with you.

Thank you for being part of the story.

The best is still ahead.

With faith and expectation,

Samuel & Becca Vander Klok
Lead Pastors, Life West Church
