OUR PURPOSE:
Love God
Truly loving God requires us to engage our heart as well as our head. Jesus said that loving God with all our heart, soul and mind was to be our first priority. Our combined ministries are aimed at providing opportunities to connect with God and grow in our love for Him.
Love People
When we truly love God, we are enabled to love people. Jesus said this was our second priority. Our aim is to provide an atmosphere of love and acceptance. Our care goes beyond the organized services of the week to include the concerns of daily life.

OUR TEAM
John K.Price,
Lead Pastor
Pastor John has been in full time pastoral ministry since 1988 including 6 years as a staff pastor specializing in people connections. “My call, experiences, and giftings have developed in me a passion to help people discover the fullness of God’s personalized, creative design and to weave that design into the fabric of the body of Christ – the church. It is only as both of these elements come together that the power of the presence of Jesus in the world is fulfilled!”

Toni Harris, Student Ministries Director
The Linden/Fenton community has always been a part of my life. My parents grew up in Linden and are high school sweethearts. I have been an attendee of LFM Church since 1983. I was a graduate of Fenton High School in 1998 and now FAPS is where my 3 children attend. Speaking of family, I have a husband named Tim, a 17 year old daughter Lillian and two sons, Carter is 15 and Landon is 10.
I have lots of experience with kids, and not just because I have three of my own. I have been coaching and teaching children ages 3 and up dance for 20 years. I addition to dance I have worked in the church nursery, taught Sunday school, helped with VBS and I even worked at Covenant Hills Camp one summer as a camp counselor. God is so good and I can’t wait to see the great things he will do in our kids and church families.
In my spare time I like to craft, sing, garden, social media and devotions! I also really like hanging out with my family, especially going out to the movie theater!! What a treat!!
I can not wait to get to know all of you as we dive deeper into a relationship with Christ!
TESTIMONIALS
"I love LFM! When a friend saw that I began reading the Bible and coming to faith in Jesus, he invited me to come to LFM Church. At first I was apprehensive due to negative preconceived notions I had about Church. But when I came, I experienced the love of Jesus in a community of believers, forever changing my life as well as my notion of 'Church.' I found it easy to build new relationships within the congregation and to find a place to participate in the ministry. LFM is an excellent place for anyone, regardless of class or ethnicity, to be engaged with God and find purpose in something bigger than themselves."
