Our History
Located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, LifeLight began its ministry in 1998 with the first festival held on a church lawn. The festival (held annually over Labor Day weekend) later moved to the W.H. Lyons Fairgrounds, and in 2003, where more than 100,000 people attended the 3-day event. Hundreds of people have come to know Jesus at LifeLight Festivals with many, many more recommitting their lives to Christ.
There are two unique aspects of the LifeLight Festival; it is a FREE event, and our Sunday morning, city-wide worship service crosses denominational and doctrinal lines and draws many area churches together to participate and worship as one body of believers. LifeLight is part of the local community and has nationally become a model for the Body of Christ coming together to reach out to each other as well as the world.
