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...
