Make a difference
Your gifts have
a purpose.
Discover how God has shaped you, develop what He has placed in you, and use it to help others where you live, work, play, and learn.
Purpose becomes practical
Know your gifts.
Use them for others.
We call it discovering the Vibrant Life of Christ—knowing who God created you to be and seeing how He is shaping you to make the greatest difference in the people He has placed around you.
The Five-Hour Life Training Center turns that discovery into action. Participants explore how they are wired, recognize the contribution they can make, and identify practical ways to help people where they live, work, play, and learn.
