ResLife Exists To Win Souls & Make Disciples

Having a heart for the kingdom is something we are passionate about at Reslife. Experience real worship, learn, and grow in your relationship with God. Our desire as a church family is to impact those in our community to develop committed followers of Jesus Christ to reach the world. Through our four foundational pillars: Word, Worship, Generations, and Missions, we want to show what God can do through us and for us. We are dedicated to showing people how relevant the Word of God is to our everyday lives.

WORD

We teach the Word of God in practical, relevant, teaching styles to impact lives around the world. We are known as a source for solid Biblical teaching that is easy to understand and practical for daily living. Listen in on a service.

WORSHIP

Simply put, worship is pleasing God. It’s what we were born to do. We worship God both through our lives and when we come together each week. One way we do that is through music. With the power to affect young and old, music helps turn hearts toward God.

GENERATIONS

We’re partnering with families in training up the next generation. From six weeks old to college-age students, we have a place for every age to find a personal connection with God and grow in that relationship.

MISSIONS

Through community and world missions, we provide opportunities for the love of Christ to be shared all over the world through prayer and resources.

Our story

It was November 5, 1967, when Pastor James E. Bugg, along with 34 others, met in a conference room of the By-Pass Motel in Grandville and held the first service of what would become Resurrection Life Church. This fledgling congregation then called the People’s Church, started as a place to connect and grow with fellow believers who found the Holy Spirit to be a reality in their lives, and to encourage others in this same relationship with Christ.
