Welcome Life Community Church!

We are excited to announce that Life Community Church of Mahomet, IL has been adopted into the Vineyard Movement of Churches.

In September of this year, they will officially change their name to Life Vineyard Church. They are now part of the Midwest Central Region and Jim Plank will be their new Area Leader. Pastors Dan + Liz Powell shared a bit of their story with us, and we look forward to knowing them more! Please join us in welcoming them into our family of churches.

“We attended Trinity International University where we met and married. We’ve spent our whole marriage learning how to do ministry together; it’s an ongoing adventure! Over the years we’ve grown to lead from our strengths, where we complement each other well. After attending Wheaton Graduate School and spending a few years in Christian camping ministry, we were hired by the Vineyard Church of Baton Rouge as Associate Pastors in 2015. We started our family and had all three of our girls in Baton Rouge. In 2020, we felt the call to come back home to Illinois to lead Life Community Church and bring them into the Vineyard family. We’ve fallen in love with our church community and enjoy living in Mahomet and experiencing everything Central Illinois has to offer.”
