RE:
In the life of any organization, at certain points it is necessary to re:visit the vision and mission to help guide the organizational members toward the purpose for which it was created. In this series, we are discussing where we have been, where we are, where we are going, and what we need to do to join God in bringing about his vision for Vertical Life Church to fruition! Join us, Sunday mornings at 10:45 am at the Clio High School Auditorium!

Mother’s Day 2018
Mom's come in many different denominations, but one thing is for sure, being a mom does not stop the moment the kids leave home. God designed every woman to nurture, and intends that every woman in his church should work together to raise a godly generation. The definition of a woman, the dilemma of a woman, and the destiny of a woman can be summed up in one word, motherhood!
Good News!

Advent
The number 40, is a significant number in the Bible. It is a demarcation of the end of one season, and the beginning of a new season. The Israelite wandered the desert for forty years. This period was the transitional period between slavery in Egypt, and dwelling in the promise land. Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days. This was the transitional period between his formative years, and beginning his ministry. Advent, is the season we set aside as Christians to reflect on the first coming of Jesus. The time of his birth, and every benefit that comes with knowing the ...
Eat the Meat
What would you think if you saw an adult in a diaper, sitting in a highchair, waiting for a bottle in the restaurant where you were about to enjoy an nice dinner? There is nothing physically or mentally wrong with the person, but yet they are impatiently waiting for their next feeding in a most awkward fashion. I think we would all have to pause a second and wonder what is wrong with this picture. The reality is, many followers of Jesus, who have known him for a long time, are much like this immature adult. They age physically, but yet, have not aged spiritually. The ...
Back to the Basics
It has been 3 years since the launch of our church back in May of 2014! As awesome and exciting as that was, just like anything new we begin, the excitement can begin to wain and we can lose focus. We founded this ministry on 6 core values you can read about here. These values shape the culture and DNA of our church. We believe God's will for the New Testament Church as well as every believer is to live these values out for the Glory of God! As time goes by, and we get caught in the rut of ministry and the everyday flow of life, it is easy to forget why we exist, what our ...
Creation
The cultural climate has not changed for many years surrounding the subject of origins. Many well educated and respected people from both sides of the debate have dedicated their lives to discussing and discovering the truth. Even though secular society believes the topic to be a settled argument, the scientific community continues to make discoveries that challenge long held beliefs that verify the Bible. No matter what side of the tracks you have grown up on, this discussion is still relevant to today because if in fact God did create the heavens and the earth, then what ...
Habitudes
It's commonly known that humans are creatures of habit. Scientists have now discovered that we are operating on the habitual level anywhere from 40 to 90 percent of the time. That means for at least half of our lives if not more, we are are coasting on autopilot not even really in control. We develop habits to acquire rewards. God designed us to enjoy pleasure. Everything He created was meant to be enjoyed by His creation. Our brains are hard wired to seek out and enjoy pleasurable things. When we experience pleasure the brain remembers how it experienced it, and creates ...
