We invite you to come and experience one of our worship services for yourself. Come see what Life Church is all about! We’re sure you’ll agree that to know us is to love us.
LEADERSHIP
Our Pastors
Dr. Ken Hansen and his wife Chrystal pastored Living Water Community Church in Bolingbrook, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago for 25 years until 2016, when Ken came to Life Church to serve as the Executive Pastor. During their time in Bolingbrook they guided the church through three building programs including a complete campus relocation project in 2006. Under their leadership the church grew and was very active in impacting the community.
Ken served for a number of years as the presbyter for the Southwest Section of the Assemblies of God as well as the President of the Bolingbrook Clergy Association. He also served as the chaplain for the Bolingbrook Fire Department.
While at Living Water, Chrystal was the Executive Pastor and served in the community as the Vice-President of the Valley View 365 School Board. She also launched a non-profit organization to help homeless kids and their families. Chrystal also spent a season working at the Chicago headquarters of Comcast in Schaumburg as the Regional Manager of Sales Development Strategies and Leadership Development.
Ken earned his undergraduate degree at Central Bible College, his Masters Degree in Theology from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, and his Doctorate in Ethical and Organizational Leadership from Olivet Nazarene University. Chrystal holds an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Lewis University and an MBA from the Keller School of Management.
Ken and Chrystal have been married since 1984 and have three grown children and two grandchildren. In June of 2019 Ken and Chrystal were asked to serve as the Lead Pastors of Life Church. Currently, Chrystal serves as the Executive Pastor.
