Livingspring Chapel International was born out of a God-given mandate — to reach, raise, and release people into their destiny. This is who we are.
"To reach every person with the living Word of God, raise them into wholeness and maturity in Christ, and release them to fulfil their God-given purpose — locally and to the ends of the earth."
At Livingspring Chapel International, we are not simply building an organisation — we are building people. Every sermon, every cell group, every act of service, every outreach is an expression of our belief that every human life carries infinite worth and eternal purpose in the hands of God.
We exist for the one. The one who has never heard the Gospel. The one who walked away from faith. The one sitting in the back row uncertain whether they belong. At LSCI, there is always room — and there is always grace.
Livingspring Chapel International — a church on mission for every generation.

Pastor Femi Emmanuel is one of Africa's most respected and anointed Bible teachers. With a ministry spanning more than three decades, he is known for his ability to bring the eternal truths of Scripture to life with clarity, depth, and an extraordinary relevance to everyday living.
Born with a passion for the Word of God from a young age, Pastor Femi Emmanuel founded Livingspring Chapel International in 1994 with a small but faithful congregation in Lagos, Nigeria. What began as a modest gathering of believers has since grown into a Spirit-filled movement with lifting centers across Nigeria and an international reach touching lives across Africa, Europe, and beyond.
He is a sought-after speaker at conferences, summits, and crusades globally, and has authored numerous books on faith, purpose, leadership, and the Holy Spirit. His weekly messages on e-LSCI are viewed by hundreds of thousands worldwide.
Pastor Femi Emmanuel is married and resides in Lagos. He is loved by his congregation not only for his powerful ministry but for his humility, pastoral heart, and tireless commitment to the people God has placed in his care.
These are not just words on a wall. They are the convictions that shape everything we do — from Sunday services to mission trips to how we treat every person who walks through our doors.
We believe the Bible is the living, infallible Word of God — our final authority in all matters of faith, life, and practice.
We are a Spirit-filled church. We believe in the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit operating in every believer's life today.
We were not designed to walk alone. Authentic, honest, and grace-filled community is essential to becoming who God made us to be.
The Great Commission is not optional. We are called to go — locally through outreach and globally through missions and church planting.
Every person alive carries a God-given assignment. We are committed to helping you discover, develop, and deploy your unique purpose.
Every great work of God begins with a seed of obedience. Here is ours.

25+ lifting centers. 15,000+ members. 500+ cell groups. And we are still just getting started with what God has planned.
The best chapter of LSCI's story hasn't been written yet. And God wants you in it.
