Welcome to the New Center of Life

Center of Life Church is entering a new season — and this new website is part of it.

For nearly 40 years, this house has been a place where God meets people exactly where they are. Founded in 1986 by Apostle Judy Shaw as Deeper Life Church, we've always been about going deeper — deeper into Scripture, deeper into prayer, deeper into relationship with God and each other.

Today, under the leadership of Dr. Joshua S. Duncan, Center of Life is becoming what God has always called it to be: an apostolic center — a house that receives people, forms them in truth, activates them in gifts, and deploys them into Kingdom purpose.

What You'll Find Here

This website is more than a digital brochure. It's your connection point to everything happening at Center of Life. Here you can watch our latest messages, learn about our ministries, explore our 24-week Acts 2 Discipleship pathway, find your next step in faith, and connect with our community.

Our Mission

Love. Equip. Deploy.

That's who we are in three words. We love people where they are. We equip them through sound doctrine, discipleship, and spiritual formation. And we deploy them into the world to make a difference — in their families, their workplaces, their communities, and the nations.

Come See For Yourself

We gather every Sunday at the University Welcome Center (formerly Sioux Falls Seminary) in central Sioux Falls. Whether you're visiting for the first time or you've been walking with us for years, there's always a next step waiting for you.

Those who pursue the Deeper Life find themselves at the Center of Life.

We'll see you Sunday.
