The Word of Life Family

Church is one of nearly 1,000 churches in the United

States affiliated with the Rhema Bible College in Tulsa,

Okla.

It began three years ago

when three families in Peachtree City got together, then

met at McIntosh High School, and in August 1998 they

moved to a store site in Fayetteville.

The church enjoys a

membership of 200 persons and is looking forward to

starting a building of its own on nearly nine acres on

Ga. Highway 92 north. It hopes to move in by next fall.

It will open with a 400-seat sanctuary, offices and

classrooms.

The pastor is the Rev.

Dayne Massey, who was born and reared in Selma, Ala. His

family lived in Peachtree City for several years and he

attended Booth Middle School and McIntosh High School for

two years, before they returned to Selma.

After graduating from Rhema

Bible College in 1988, he served a congregation in Henry

County for eight years, coming to Word of Life at its

inception.

He is married to Lisa, whom

he met at a church in Clayton County, and they have been

married for 13 years.

Word of Life holds a School

of Ministry each year with a year's course in studying in

advance to enter a theological school. Thirteen have just

graduated from the course and the next one will begin the

middle of January.

The church supports a book

printing project that prints Christian books in the

language of the country it's going to: China, Armenia,

Turkey and Iran.

Services are each Sunday at

10 a.m. and Wednesday at 7 p.m.

The church is at 570 W.

Lanier Ave., Ste. 101, Fayetteville and can be reached at
