Introduction
Welcome to Life Changers International Church!
If you do not live within a driving distance and do not have a church home, we invite you to become an E-Member. Every day we have thousands of people who watch and listen to our broadcasts on television, online & radio, and partner with us. Some give faithfully in their tithes and offerings and consider Life Changers to be their church home. Several of our partners are from another part of the world and are searching for a church that will give them the power to bring about change in their lives and the lives of those around them. If you would like to go deeper in your relationship with Life Changers International Church & Gregory Dickow Ministries, then
E-membership is for you!
What are the benefits of becoming an E-Member?
- The covering of a church. There is a spiritual covering that abides when you are part of a church that the gates of hell cannot prevail against (Matthew 16:18 )!
- The prayer covering of our pastoral staff. In Acts 12, you see how the effective prayer of the church brought about Peter's supernatural deliverance from prison. As an e-member, you will be a part of a church that prays for you to experience freedom and victory in life.
- A sense of belonging to a church family.
- A sense of purpose, the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself.
- A sense of agreement and the resulting power that comes from that agreement (Matt. 18:19 ).
- The opportunity to be connected to an anointed body of believers and to receive the same anointing that is on this ministry.
- Access to anointed teachings from the Word of God right on our website.
What makes Life Changers Unique?
Just as every person God creates is unique and has some very special qualities, so it is with churches as well....At Life Changers, one of the things that makes us unique is our commitment to three core goals.
When I became a pastor, I really didn't know what to do. However, in struggling to find out what I should really focus on, as a pastor, I felt like the Lord spoke to me to do these three things and build a church upon three simple goals. He said in essence, "if you want to build a great church that will always grow, then do these three things: Love people, unconditionally. Teach people, uncompromisingly. And encourage people, unceasingly.”
It is upon these core foundations that we welcome you to the Life Changers family!
Love people unconditionally.
Before Jesus ever did a miracle, preached a sermon, or died for our sins, God spoke to Him and said, "You are My Son, and I love you...” In a performance oriented world, it is refreshing to know there is still a place where love is unconditional and love never fails! No matter whom you are or what you've done, you are loved! We hope you experience that here.
Teach people uncompromisingly.
As we teach the unchanging truths of God's Word, and you follow the principles and promises of scripture, you will receive the power to be changed forever! The Bible will mature you in your walk with God, equip you to fulfill God's purpose and empower you to experience victory in every area of your life.
Encourage people unceasingly.
We want you to know that God is not mad at you. He is "mad about you”! He is on your side! No matter what you're going through, you are going to make it! Not a day goes by where this ministry does not pray for you. Not a day goes by where we are not available to encourage you, build you up and help you reach the "finish line” of God's perfect will!
We believe that every person has a church home that God is calling them to. As an E-member at Life Changers, you have the opportunity to be a part of the growth and vision of this ministry. If you believe Life Changers is your church home and would like to become an E-member , we invite you to click next to go through our E-Membership Orientation.
Our Story
Everything God does begins with a seed...and years ago, God planted in the heart of Gregory Dickow a vision for a church that taught people the practical, life-changing principles of the Bible. Out of obedience to God and their passion to share God's unconditional love for people, Gregory and Grace Dickow moved to Chicago and began preaching the Word of God. What was first incorporated as a church in June of 1993 at Link Elementary School in Elk Grove, has now grown into today's Life Changers International Church--one of the fastest growing and diverse churches in America!
Over the last decade, Life Changers has lived up to its name by seeing untold thousands of lives changed. Through thriving church campuses, an expanding television and radio ministry, Community Life, outreaches and missions, the impact is far-reaching with no end in sight!
Our new ministry campus serves as the launching pad for us to birth satellite campuses around Chicagoland and throughout the world, start a bible school to train leaders, and allow us to continue changing lives and reaching nations with the Father's love -- the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Life Changers family joyfully looks forward to the next decade and would consider it an honor to have you be a part of what God is doing.
Our Mission:
The Life Changers International Church family is reaching people and changing lives through the understanding of God's Word, building them into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
The 30-year Plan
Genesis 1:28 says "And God blessed them and God said unto them "be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth..." Recently God revealed this scripture to us as the 30-year plan for our ministry. The first 10 years since we incorporated as a church have been years of fruitfulness. We have grown and have seen thousands of lives changed. Now it is time to multiply that fruit. We recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary and are now entering a 10 year period of multiplication. Once that period has matured, we will spend the next 10 years replenishing the earth with the power, character, wisdom, and love of God. This is a pattern that we will endeavor to reproduce every generation until the return of Jesus Christ.
Our Statement of Purpose,
