How did all of this start?
RealLife Lake Chelan began with a belief that an all-powerful God could accomplish an impossible goal.
THE STORY
“If you’re not daring to believe God for the impossible, you’re sleeping through some of the best parts of your Christian life.”
-Steven Furtick, Founder/Pastor Elevation Church
We began to brainstorm and challenge each other as to what impossible goals we could set that only would be accomplished if God intervened. As we prayed and planned, it became clear that He was moving us to start a brand new church in the Lake Chelan Valley for people who don’t like church…people who are far from God. It seemed like an impossibility then and still continues to intimidate us to this day.
…spent creating, planning, arguing, praying, searching and finally agreeing, we launched RealLife Lake Chelan on Sept. 16, 2012. We were thankfully overwhelmed to see a couple hundred people make their way into the auditorium at Chelan High School.
What seemed like an impossibility just a year before, God had made a powerful reality. That was just the beginning. We are confident that God has many more impossible tasks to accomplish in the Lake Chelan Valley. We are excited to depend on Him as we help those who are far from God find Real Life in Christ.
…as we prepare to move to our new, permanent location in The Community Center at Lake Chelan!
“If the size of your vision for your life isn’t intimidating to you, there’s a good chance it’s insulting to God.”
