Our story
Rooted in faith, growing in love
Life-Giving Spirit Church has been a home for seekers, believers, and neighbors in Villa Rica, Georgia for years. We exist to love God, love people, and serve our community.
Our mission
Life, love, and community — for everyone
Our mission is simple: to be a life-giving community where every person can encounter the love of God, grow in their faith, and find their place in something bigger than themselves.
We believe the church is at its best when it looks like the neighborhood — diverse, warm, and genuinely invested in the people around it. That's the kind of church we're building in Villa Rica.
Our vision
A church that feels like home
We envision a Villa Rica where every person knows they have a place — a community of faith that is as warm and welcoming on the inside as it looks from the outside. We're not building a program; we're building a family.
What we believe
Our core beliefs
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God — our guide for life, faith, and how we treat one another.
The Trinity
We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — three persons, one God.
Salvation by Grace
We believe salvation is a gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ — not earned, but freely given.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit lives in every believer, empowering us to live, serve, and love as Jesus did.
The Church
We believe the local church is God's primary vehicle for bringing hope and healing to the world.
Resurrection & Eternity
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and in the promise of eternal life for all who believe.

Our history
How we got here
Life-Giving Spirit Church was founded with a simple conviction: that every person in Villa Rica deserves a church that feels like home. From our earliest gatherings to today, that conviction has never changed.
Over the years, we've grown from a small group of neighbors into a vibrant, multigenerational community — and we're just getting started. The best days of Life-Giving Spirit Church are still ahead.
