HOW OR WHY DID LIFE HOUSE CHURCH GET STARTED?
Life House began when Pastor James and Mrs. Cindy Ross began to feel that God was calling them to begin a new work in the College Hill area of Texarkana . After feeling that God was directing them to “make the move,” they stepped out on faith and began the work with a core group of believers who share their vision.
We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God. We believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven. A complete list of our doctrinal beliefs can be found in “THE BAPTIST FAITH AND MESSAGE 2000.”
IS LIFE HOUSE A BAPTIST CHURCH OR WHAT?
Yes! We are a Baptist church! We are “ LIFE HOUSE CHURCH ” “A Southern Baptist Family of Believers.”
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT LIFE HOUSE?
Life House is different because we are not concerned with buildings, clothing, color, or your past. We don’t care where you’ve been – we care where you are headed! We are a church for all people. If you don’t think you “fit” in other churches because of your race, you will fit in at Life House JUST FINE! If you are worried about your economic status, don’t worry. You have found a church that loves you just as you are!
Our worship is simple. Our lifestyle is simple. We don’t think church should be complicated, but rather it should compliment your life. Church should be enjoyable and not a burden. At Life House you will find a simple church, with simple worship that preaches a simple gospel – JESUS!

If you would like to contact Pastor James you can contact him at jross@life-house.us or 903-278-0984.
CAN I SERVE IN THE MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH?
In every church God raises up individual believers to do the “work” of the church. We all have various gifts. We all can “DO” something to bless the work of the church and the kingdom. Be faithful, be prayerful, and listen as God begins to shape you for service in the church. God uses those who are willing and open to His will. Don’t be a “pew sitter” – get up and begin to serve HIM by serving others! LOVE GOD. LOVE PEOPLE. PROVE IT!!
