The Full Story
About
Greater Life Apostolic Church, formally known as Diggins Apostolic Church is a regional church located in Diggins Missouri. With a rich history dating back to 1962. The church originally started in a small trailer house just past A Hwy in Diggins. From there, we were able to purchase property just up the road in a church building. After being in that building for 32 years, we were able to purchase the nice property right off of A Hwy, on Normandy Rd. In 2003 we were able to complete the building of the new church that stands there to this day. In 2017, the Lord brought the Elliott's to Diggins to pastor. Pastor Trey Elliott and his wife Lauren Elliott have a vision to see souls saved and often you will hear them say " we are in the people saving business." Pastor Elliott had a vision for a Family Life Center (gym) where we could host dinners and a place for the young people to hang out and play. With the help of many, we were able to build a metal building that stand adjacent to the brick building today. In 2023 we changed the name from Diggins Apostolic to Greater Life Apostolic with a desire and vision to have daughter work churches spreading across the greater Springfield area. We are family friendly church.
