About Lifeway Church

Faith, community and worship. These are the cornerstones behind Lifeway Church, and we approach each day with these in mind. Founded in 1990, our Church was established on the ideals of giving everyone a chance to learn, grow, and define their own identity through worship. Becoming a church member means joining a family who, each day, are devoted to expressing their love of God.

First Lady Joyce Esteves

Sister Joyce was born and reared in Compton, California. After finishing high school, she became a legal secretary and excelled in her chosen profession. In 2004, Sister Joyce was ordained as a Minister. This empowered her with the skills necessary to assist her husband, Pastor Chris Esteves, in laying the foundation and establishing Lifeway Church.

As Lifeway’s First Lady, Sister Joyce’s ministry is dynamic and versatile; from conference and seminar speaker to church counselor, when life’s challenges become overwhelming and guidance is sought, she is always willing to assist. She has a Mother’s Heart for her spiritual children and wants to nurture them into the fullness of God, leading by example. It is her desire that everyone fulfills their destiny and adheres to God’s ordained call in their lives.
