God’s church and grow God’s kingdom.

What is Life 56?
Life 56 (fifty-six) is the preteen ministry for 5th-6th graders at First Baptist Church O’Fallon.
At Life 56, we desire to intentionally create an environment that ministers to 5th and 6th grade students in their transitional years from childhood to adolescence. We believe preteen students are able to develop a passion for Christ in order to grow as spiritual leaders.
