Thank you again for checking out the heart and ministry of Life Giving church. Let us introduce ourselves and our church leadership.
- Co-Pastors Larry and Janet Bowen have lived in Woodward since 1974 and have been involved in ministry for over 25 years. They have pastored Life Giving Church since its inception. Larry and Janet are both retired public school educators. Pastor Larry was a counselor and coached in the public schools for 30 years and continues now as a coach of God’s team. Pastor Janet taught business education. We have a wonderful daughter, Tara, and son-in-law, Michael, and three grandchildren, Ali, Andrew, and Adam.
- Pastor Betty Lively is our Associate Pastor. She has been part of the ministry team and vision of this church since it began in 1994. God has graced her with the spirit of wisdom and healing as well as many other giftings.
We are also connected with a network of churches called International Christian Leadership Connections, or ICLC. This provides us with outside relationship, accountability, support, and direction.
