In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is talking to the Apostle Peter and makes this promise, "I will build My church." This is not just wishful thinking, it is a promise from the Son of God. He doesn’t promise to build a home, a university, or a business. The one thing Jesus promises is to build His Church. This is incredibly good news as we embark on this journey to build a church home for Lifepoint. It means that we can rest in this promise and fully trust Jesus. And, if we choose, it means that we get to partner with Him and allow Him to use us to fulfill this prophecy from hundreds of years ago. Did you catch that? We get to partner with Jesus! So, as you read this information, we are not asking for you to consider partnering only with Lifepoint; we are asking that you consider partnering with Jesus and the plan that He has to redeem all that is broken.

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:18 (ESV)
Situation
Every year we pay over $130,000 for our current
facility and we are out of space. We believe that God
wants us to be good stewards of all that He has
given to us. This includes our finances, the people
who call Lifepoint home, and the community that
God has placed us in.
Solution
After visiting with several pastors, touring different
church campuses, and going through several
revisions, our design team in conjunction with Rio
West, Burton and Associates Architects, LLC, and
Bruce R. Call, AECM, PLLC has designed a beautiful
church campus that will allow us to better minister
to our church family and the neighboring community.

This is truly a church that knows your name. You are welcomed as you come in and you are welcome as you are. Multiple people interact with you and tell you how happy they are to see you. It is truly a place where you feel everybody is happy to see you. The teaching is off the charts. Highly recommend this to newcomers to the faith as well as those experienced in their walk. Warmest church I have ever attended.
