About LIFEchurch:

LIFEchurch is a multi-site church with three locations. The Coralville campus, part of the greater Iowa City area, is the broadcast location of the church. It sits in the shadow of the University of Iowa and an area which highly values education. In this context the church is focused on making church a gathering of real people in a modern worship experience, where Christ is encountered in culturally relevant ways and where the radical expression of faith spurs our people to spread the love of Christ to all of Johnson County and beyond.
