Although there are many churches in our community and region, most churches are plateaued and dying. Even more churches are holding onto traditions instead of embracing values like excellence, relevance and flexibility. The call to “Go” is a call to honor God’s Word and value people by taking the gospel to the culture. The strategy of being a multi-site is a better stewardship option than just building bigger buildings. As a multi-site church, LifePoint can continue to focus on local communities where we have campuses. Also, creating more campuses creates more opportunities for people to serve and develop as leaders.
In the next 24 months, LifePoint’s vision is to launch a third local campus in Rutherford County or in the surrounding area. A third campus will create yet another space where Christ followers can invest and then invite lost neighbors, family and co-workers to an authentic and accepting environment to hear about Christ—a place of light and hope where children and students can begin their lifelong journey with Christ. A third local campus will be yet another LifePoint sending center where LifePointers will worship, serve and gather to be sent into the local community and across the globe.
Rutherford County continues to rank as the fastest growing county in the state and one of the top in the nation. People are flocking to this area, and we are passionate about taking the gospel to our region.
Whether we are unifying with another congregation or launching a campus in a school, theater or other rented space, The Sending Church Campaign will provide necessary funds for equipping facilities, personnel and ministry budgets.
