Fall Ignite

We’re wrapping up our journey through Psalm 23, and you won’t want to miss it!

EXCITING NEWS: Our Kindergarten friends get to join us, too!

You can sign up here if you haven't yet.

Invite a friend and come ready for a fun-filled night as we finish discovering what it means to have the Lord as our Shepherd.

Church Chairs

If you are willing to help offset the cost of our new chairs, the cost is $45 per chair. You can give towards this by putting Church Chairs on the memo line of your check or online gift. This should be a gift above and beyond your normal tithes and offerings to Lifepointe.

Recurring giving lets you choose an amount and frequency that fits your life—then it happens automatically. No more forgetting or last-minute decisions.

For you: more convenience and consistency.

For Lifepointe: a steadier budget so we can focus on ministry and missions instead of financial ups and downs.

Whether you give one-time, by check, or cash—we’re thankful. This is just a simple tool if it helps you. If you’re interested just click the Give Now link below and set up recurring giving today.

Thank you for your generosity. We are grateful for you.
