Eternal Life Church of Franklin, VA

This page is dedicated to remain active and engaged with current and future members. Our intention is to provide background on the great things the church is doing and to reach you where you are.

Ministries of Eternal Life include, but are not limited to:
• Life Skills Ministries -- This program is designed to teach individuals trade skills. It is the goal of Eternal Life to assist community members to expand their horizons and build their lives using such skills.

• Financial Management -- This program is designed to enhance individuals’ knowledge and understanding of money management, budgeting, and basic finance skills. The intent is to build “lenders” and not “borrowers”…

• Missionary Activities -- Eternal Life recognizes that the needs are many and the laborers are sometimes few. We have varied activities designed to draw individuals closer to Christ. Through community engagement and outreach programs, Eternal Life has been able to support numerous families in the region as well as in Haiti and New Orleans.

• Healthy Lives Program -- With more and more Americans negatively impacted due to sedentary life styles and poor eating habits, Eternal Life is focused on this area. The physical body is a temple of the Holy Spirit; Eternal Life recognizes that the temple requires nourishment of the mind, body and spirit.
