Our Desire

Do you have a relationship with the Lord? Do you know where you stand in that relationship and what your role should be? Are you going through life struggles and freely admit that your belief system is shaken and desperately needs restoration? Do you feel good about your relationship with God but don’t yet belong to a community with other believers? Maybe you already have a community and feel it could benefit from our approach to teaching God’s truths from the Bible

 

Regardless of your current journey, A Life for Christ aims to use the Bible to help others learn about, develop, and strengthen their relationship with Christ. Having a relationship with the God of the Bible is far from boring. It is life-giving—and it is what we were made for. Our goal is to help understand His plans for us, grow closer to Him, become more Christ-like, and be led by the Holy Spirit as we face this often chaotic world head-on.

​

We want everyone to have a chance to learn more about having a relationship with God.

What to Expect from Us

  • Books and blogs based on the Bible as the only true resource.

  • Help for anyone who desires to hear the gospel and/or be discipled. Our doors are always open.

  • Everything we do is free (Participants may buy a book if they can afford it. If not, we will supply the book).

  • Our focus is to study the Bible and communicate with each other. We do not discuss politics or denominations.

  • We will provide resources and encouragement to those who want to lead a study, whether it is in-person or virtual.

  •  We will encourage you to positively influence your local community and church for Christ.
     

For those who don’t participate in a study, we have blogs to encourage, challenge, and communicate.​

Meet Our Team

The team at A Life for Christ comprises people of varying ages, backgrounds, and talents who are God-fearing believers passionate about sharing God's word. We are growing as a volunteer team and hope to help each other grow in Christ as we follow His will.

Mike is a retired agricultural scientist and technology manager in the private sector. He has been a Christian for over four decades and has served the Lord and his local church in several ways. He now lives in Denton, TX, and is the founder and president of A Life for Christ and the author of A Life Well Lived. While he insists he doesn’t have all the answers, he has expanded his understanding of the Bible, grown closer to the Lord, and shared what he has learned. He is thankful he can serve the Lord full-time during his retirement years.
