LIFE is a new campus ministry committed to turning the world upside down for Christ in the 21st century. This ministry is reaching college students in the Phoenix metro area with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Currently, Arizona State University is the largest university in the nation with 64,000 students projected to be over 100,000 in a couple of years. It is here our ministry operates as well as Scottsdale Community College, Phoenix Community College, and Mesa Community College. LIFE has bible study groups all over campus on different days of the week, for more information contact Luke Speckman at luke@phxicc.org. LIFE holds the following core convictions:
- There is one true God who reveals himself to the world as The Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
- Jesus, the Son of God, is our one and only Lord and Savior, crucified for our sins and physically resurrected from the dead on the third day (John 14:6 ; Acts 4:12; 1 Corinthians 15 ).
- The Bible is the only written message of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Peter 1:19-21).
- A person is saved by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ. A person must, through faith and obedience, reach out to receive this free gift of salvation (Ephesians 1:1-10; James 2:14-26).
- As with the first Christians, when a person repents and is baptized their sins are forgiven and the Holy Spirit begins to work in their life (Acts 2:36-41; Romans 8:5-11 ).
- Only baptized disciples are members of Christ’s Church (1 Corinthians 12:12-13).
- After baptism every new Christian needs to be discipled and taught to obey all of Jesus’ teachings (Matthew 28:20).
- Every disciple must be committed to the vision of making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20).
