About Us
Find Lasting Healing, Freedom, and Victory in Christ
What if the hurt and the struggle could actually stop? At Life Center, a non-profit 501(c)(3) in Grand Rapids, MI, we’ve been helping people find healing, freedom, and victory through Christian counseling and Biblical ministry training since 1980. Our caring disciplers offer a safe space and a clear path forward. If you could overcome by trying harder, you would have already. That’s where Christ’s power in you comes in and lifts you up.
How We Help You Overcome
- We show you where internal struggles come from, and God’s solution for them. You’ll see why you think, feel, and act the way you do, and how to overcome. We use the Biblical three-part man blueprint (spirit, soul, and body) to break down the pathway to lasting breakthrough.
- We help you see that Christ in you is more than enough for the external struggles, disappointments, and setbacks of life.
- We make the Word come alive with dry-erase board visuals that change your view of yourself, God, life, and even others. A change in perspective comes first, and then unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors change.
- We use resources that are relatable and proven. We’ve tried and cultivated our resources for over 40 years.
- We don’t put tired people to work. Complex religious striving and behavior modification wear people out. The Word of God doesn’t just change lives; it gives life. The Word, the Holy Spirit (the great counselor), and your discipler work alongside you as God finishes what He began in you.
What We Believe
HEALING (Christ as Savior)
- God’s healing and freedom are realized when you see yourself and life from His perspective.
- God created your spirit, soul, and body to work together for a renewed and rewarding life.

FREEDOM (Christ as Lord)
- God created us to enjoy and reign in life, not just endure it.
- The most rewarding things in life aren’t things. They’re people and lives lived well.

VICTORY (Christ as Life)
- The gospel doesn’t only change people in the church. It empowers every believer to live and share Christ as the church.
- Believers who know the peace and freedom of Christ want to share it.
- Sharing the gospel should be user-friendly for both the receiver and the giver.

One Minute Office Tour
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
