THE LINEUP

Pastors John and Leslie Siebeling are the founders and lead pastors of The Life Church, a thriving, multicultural body of believers committed to serving people, developing leaders and impacting generations. Their passion for building God's House began early, faithfully volunteering in their local church as young people in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After serving for many years, John became the college pastor at his local church until he and Leslie moved to Kenya, Africa as missionaries.

While in Africa, John and Leslie served as a part of the pastoral staff of Nairobi Lighthouse Church, a church reaching thousands of people each week and making a significant impact in Africa. John and Leslie's time in Africa left an imprint on their hearts that dramatically impacted their view on life and church and further developed their passion for other cultures. It was during this time that God stirred their hearts to return to the States with a vision to start a life-giving church.

Pastors John and Leslie Siebeling founded The Life Church in 1996 with a team of seven people. From the start, their vision was to build a vibrant, life-giving church where people of all races and backgrounds would come together to worship God and bring hope and healing to our city and beyond by meeting needs and sharing the message of Jesus Christ. Over the last eight years, The Life Church has more than tripled in size, adding five locations in the Mid-South area, a location in White Plains, New York and an international campus in Santiago, Chile.
