Vision and Values
Lifepoint House Church exists to love God, love people, and make disciples of Jesus Christ.
We imagine a church completely committed to Jesus. We’re not there yet, but we’re on the way. No matter who you are or what you’ve done, there’s a place for you here.
To pursue that vision, we prioritize 5 values.
Core Values
In Christ, we are new.
Jesus brings us from death to life.
Scripture: John 3:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:1-10
In Christ, we are His.
We come with confidence into His presence.
Scripture: Romans 8:14-17; Ephesians 3:11-12 ; Hebrews 4:16
In Christ, we are family.
We take the time to know and encourage each other.
Scripture: Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 John 4:7-12
In Christ, we are servants.
We use our time, talent, and treasure for God.
Scripture: Matthew 20:28; Matthew 6:19-24 & 6:33; Romans 12:1-8; 1 Peter 4:10-11
In Christ, we are missionaries.
We do whatever it takes to reach the one.
Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20; John 20:21; Luke 15
Why House Church
It is Biblical:
Several times in the New Testament (Acts 2:46, Acts 20:20, Romans 16:5, 1 Cor. 16:19) we see churches that are meeting in homes.
It encourages participation over consumerism
House church settings encourage participation. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 tells us that we have all been given gifts that edify the church body. We make room for everyone to use those gifts whatever they might be.
It creates unique opportunities for relationships
Christianity is meant to be lived in relationship with other believers. Paul refers to the church as a body with Christ as the head and many members who perform different functions but need each other to function. He also referred to believers as stones that together, make up a holy temple, the dwelling place of God on earth.
It creates unique opportunities for discipleship
We’re aiming to build a community of disciples who not only grow in their faith but also help others do the same, ultimately multiplying churches. We think that small, simple gatherings foster spiritual growth, and that discipleship thrives in close, relational settings.
