LifePointe's mission is to CONNECT people to Jesus and to like-minded believers, to help them GROW in relationship with Jesus and with others, and to SERVE one another, their church family, and the community around them. The OUTREACH Ministry helps identify ways for our church family to make an impact in the COMMUNITY by highlighting service opportunities. From distributing food at local food banks to helping with the homeless community to donating Christmas gifts to needy kids and families, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in sharing grace, hope, and the love of Jesus.
As you consider how you can get involved with the Outreach Ministry, consider the opportunities listed below.  Click on each opportunity to find out more details. If you have questions about becoming more involved with the Outreach Ministry, please fill out the contact form at the bottom of the page and someone will reach out to you.
Throughout the year, LifePointe will be selecting a local organization each month and encouraging you to donate specific items that will help them continue their mission. Look for the big gray bin in the Gathering Space each week and drop your items there. Each month, we'll highlight an organization, what they do, and how your donations will help. Check out the upcoming months below...

JANUARY

Let’s donate to others & serve new mothers! Outreach is partnering with Care Net Peninsula to collect new or gently used diaper bags for January. Care Net Peninsula is a non-profit in our community that helps to provide women facing unplanned pregnancy with the resources, parenting classes, counseling, & any assistance they need to choose life for their baby.

Why diaper bags? When outreach visited the Care Net Peninsula facility in the fall, the staff expressed their biggest concern was…. diaper bags! It's an item that is rarely donated, but is a huge need for new moms to carry everything they need for their little one! If you feel led to donate new or gently used diaper bags, please drop off diaper bags in the big gray bin in the church lobby from January 1-31st!

UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES

This winter, LifePointe will partner with Community Of Faith Mission to staff their Winter Emergency Shelter at Hickory Neck Episcopal Church. Dates and times are still to be determined, so keep an eye and an ear out for how you can help. Volunteer positions are for anyone age 16 & up (anyone under 18 MUST have a parent or guardian present at all times.). Areas to help are Food Assistance, Shelter Support, Storage Unit Operations, GOD POD Support, and Special Events. Please contact our Director of Worship & Compassion, Kyndal Johnson, if you have any questions.
