Dear Friends,

We are so excited to share the BIG NEWS that Lifepointe Church and Hope Point Church are merging as one big family!

What an exciting time for both LifePointe and Hope Point Churches! It is time for two Point(es) to be made one. In doing so we will see a multiplication of Hope and Revival. 

LifePointe has been praying, preaching, planting, reaching and dreaming for twenty years. Hope Point is just getting started, but has the fire of desire and a foundation to reach a city. 

We have reflected as God has begun to open our hearts to a congregational merging. I (Patrick) have said, “I wish LifePointe could have had this opportunity of a merger when we were less than two years old.” Today, we get to see God’s orchestration of such a dream with Hope Point. 

We are confident that as we stay in step with the Lord and follow Jesus, there will be no limit to what God can do through this newly formed group of people. We are making one much stronger church than either of our congregations could be alone. We sense God’s heart to not be content with only a simple blending of congregations, but to position for multiplication, outreach, growth and discipleship. In doing so we will also impact pastors, church leaders and congregations all around the world. 

We hope this booklet encourages you to reflect with gratitude on what God has done in the legacy of both churches. Your investments of time, talent and treasures has brought us to this moment on God’s timeline. But we also pray this booklet inspires faith for the present opportunity that we have in front of us. 

Our years of praying, seeking God, planning, sharing together, casting vision and so much more is now being brought to greater fruition. This is a time of amazing grace. We are going to see our dreams exponentially move forward. 

Take your time to turn the pages, to see the impact of our separate congregations and what they will be as we come together as one. Envision where we are. Envision were we are about to be. Be empowered. Be viral. Let us go up at once to possess the land!

For a Great Future Together!
