About Us
Birthed in 1991, by Pastor Richard and Martha AuCoin, as a Prison Ministry into the New Hampshire State Prison, we quickly grew into a House Church with about 35 active members. By 1993, evangelism, which includes regular trips to minister to the homeless in New York City and Missions trips (Romania and Liberia) where added to our ministries and by 1995, now over 100 strong we moved out of the "living room" and into the "Old Garden Theatre" an old stage theatre situated in the center of downtown Laconia, New Hampshire.
Presently around one hundred in number, this small but powerful group of dedicated Christians has ministered to and built relationships in twenty six nations around the world. Local ministry has also flourished through local evangelism, a youth group center and food pantry/soup kitchen. A "Healing room" is open twice a week for prayer and hospital visitation is provided for the sick and infirm. Staff has been trained in "Theophostic counseling and inner healing and Deliverance Ministry is also available.
Special "Worship events" have been provided to the Church and secular community, Phil Driscoll, The African Children's Choir, Robin Mark and the Belfast Revival group, Joann McFatter to name a few.
Quality teaching seminars and special speakers such as Dr. Nagy of "Voice of the Martyrs, Francis Anfuso, Dr. Charles Cooper of "The Sign" ministries and Cal Pierce of "Healing Room" ministries. Other quality "Apostolic and Prophetic" men and women of God are often in fellowship with us.
Formerly known as "The Christ Life Center" as of July of 2007 we have become part of the "Vineyard Church Movement, USA" A group of empowered Evangelicals who are proclaiming and advancing the Kingdom of God. Although our association has changed we still strive to "Keep Christ at the center of Life".
Our hope is that if you are ever in New Hampshire you also will come and Worship The Lord Jesus Christ with us.
