Under the leadership of Founder & Pastor Michael D. Shackleford & Prophetess Nicole T. Shackleford. Our ministry begin in the year of 2002 in Columbia SC then later moved to Orangeburg SC in 2003. Pastor Shacklefords’ vision was manifested by God upon the scripture,“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”(james 1:22) Living the life is a new and growing ministry that is working to enhance the Kingdom of God. We are structured around love. Our motto here is that… we love God first, our neighbor second and ourselves last. Living the Life is driven by the 5 purposes of the church which are Worship (love the Lord with all thy heart, soul and mind. Ministry (love thy neighbor as thyself.) Evangelism (love to go into the highways and hedges) Fellowship (love to come together in love) Discipleship (love to teach/reach and obey Gods’ word) so that we can grow warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, broader through ministry and larger through evangelism.
