Living Faith Community Church

What Living Faith Community Church does

Living Faith Community Church (LFCC) is a private religious non-profit organization founded on February 13, 2000 by Rev. Stephen J. Ro in Queens, New York. It operates as a multi-congregation church affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and committed to the Westminster Standards as its confessional basis. The organization is governed by a board of elders, led by a Senior Pastor, an Executive Pastor, a Ministry Director, and a team of program directors, and is supported by 10–15 staff (or 42 per a higher-scope headcount that may include part-time and contract workers) plus a network of community group leaders, deacons, and volunteers. The legal name of the organization is "Living Faith Community Church" and it is also known as "LFCC."

The church's core product is its weekly Sunday worship service at 10:30am, held at the Chinese Alliance Center in Flushing, with a YouTube livestream available for homebound members. Beyond Sunday worship, LFCC offers a broad ministry portfolio organized around Community Groups (small groups meeting across Queens neighborhoods including Forest Hills, Douglaston, Great Neck, Flushing North/South, and Bayside), age-segmented programs (Children's Education Ministry, Youth Group, College-Aged Ministry, Men's and Women's Ministries), Faith & Work Vocational Affinity Groups (Healthcare, Finance & Business), prayer meetings, an annual church-wide retreat, and short-term mission trips. It also operates a sister non-profit, the Living Faith Community Development Corporation (LFCDC), which runs the Nourish Flushing Food Pantry as a mercy and justice outreach.

LFCC's revenue model is donation-based: it receives voluntary tithes and offerings from members and attendees through online giving (a Breeze church-management platform supporting ACH and credit/debit, plus Zelle at [email protected]), stock donations, and mailed checks. The church's technology stack is intentionally lightweight and non-proprietary: a Squarespace website, Breeze ChMS for giving and administration, Zelle for payments, and YouTube for livestream. The church does not sell products or services; its "customers" are members, attendees, and beneficiary communities served through LFCDC. Its stated mission is to "saturate New York City with the Gospel" through worship, discipleship, church planting, and mercy/justice programs.
