A Brief History Because starting new churches is one of the most effective ways to introduce people to a relationship with Christ, Life Center Foursquare Church began planting daughter churches in Spokane County in 1997. In the fall of 2000, Joe Wittwer, Pastor of Life Center, contacted Brad and Cheri Williams in Phoenix, Arizona, regarding the possibility of planting a church in Spokane. After ten months of prayer and consideration, the Williams moved to Spokane and participated for twelve months on the staff at Life Center working in singles ministry and as one of the teaching pastors. In late spring of 2002, the birth of a new daughter church was announced, and the development of the Liferoads core team began. Liferoads Church officially began in September of 2002. For the first eight months, Liferoads met in the gym of Longfellow Elementary School. After those grueling months of being a portable church, setting up and tearing down each week, God provided a phenomenal facility, the former Eastside Cinema. Seating over four hundred with rooms for children's and adult classes, this building has been an amazing blessing from the spring of 2003 to the present. In the summer of 2005, Brad and Cheri Williams accepted a call to move to New York City to begin a work planting churches in the city. Appointed by the local Four Square District, Grant Opland became the Lead Pastor on August 15th, 2005. Grant was the Regional Director of Moody Northwest in Spokane for 12 years before accepting the pastoral position. Moody Northwest is a campus of the Moody Bible Institute based in Chicago, Illinois. Grant - along with his wife and kids - were a part of the nucleus of people who helped start Liferoads. In fact, Matthew - Grant's oldest son - became Liferoad's first worship pastor and continues in that capacity today! |
