OUR HISTORY

Life Changers Church International has a rich history that dates back to its origins as World Evangelism Outreach Church, which was founded in 1983 under the leadership of Apostle R.W. White. The church has always placed a strong emphasis on world missions, reflecting its commitment to spreading the gospel globally. After over 25 years of pastoring the local church and engaging in extensive international missionary work, the leadership of the church transitioned to Pastor Ben Barton in March of 2008. Pastor Barton continues to serve the body and community under the apostolic leadership of Apostle White to continue carrying the vision of world evangelism and kingdom expansion. This shift of apostolic leadership led to the name changing to Life Changers Church International. This name change was intended to signify the church's renewed focus on impacting and transforming lives within the local community, aligning with its mission to bring about positive change and spiritual growth for the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom both locally and globally.
