About Kingdom Life Church
Our vision is in our name.
It is about The Kingdom of God here on earth. “From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”” (Matthew 4:17, NKJV) “And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,” (Mark 4:11, NKJV) “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17, NKJV)
It is about the Life of God in us. “as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2 Peter 1:3–4, NKJV)
It is about The Church of our LORD Jesus Christ as one body fulfilling its mission in the earth. “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matthew 28:18–20, NKJV)

Our Leaders
Our dedicated leaders at Kingdom Life Church are grounded in God’s Word, Spirit-led, passionate, and committed to guiding and nurturing our community with wisdom, compassion, and faith. Clay and Jessica Runnels are graduates of Christ For the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas and have been married since 1990. Clay received the call of God on his life at an early age. The Word of Faith preached, taught and demonstrated by leaders such as Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, as well as leaders like Miles Monroe and Bill Johnson have made a big influence on Clay’s faith. Clay is bi-vocational and apostolic, desiring to see a five fold ministry operating in the church. Clay believes in the authority of the believer who is submitted to Christ’s authority. He believes the power of God operates in all of us who are baptized and filled with Holy Spirit. In The New Testament Church, these three remain, Faith, Hope and Love, and the greatest of these is LOVE.
