Our Senior Pastors

John & Leslie Siebeling

John and Leslie Siebeling are the founders and senior pastors of The Life Church based in Memphis, Tennessee. While serving as missionaries in Nairobi, Kenya, they felt called to plant a diverse church that could reach young people and those who were far from God or had given up on church. So, in 1996, they moved to Memphis to plant The Life Church. Today, the church has grown into a thriving, diverse congregation with thousands attending weekly services in 12 locations around the world.

John and Leslie consider it one of their greatest honors to pastor The Life Church and the people who call it their church home. In addition to leading The Life Church, John has authored several books and various resources designed to help grow people and build the global Church. John and Leslie also lead the Make Room Pastors Network, an environment designed to coach and equip other pastors and leaders to build healthy churches and reach more people.

John and Leslie love the life God has given them and enjoy doing ministry with their three children, Mark, Anna and her husband Zach.
