OUR VISION IS TO HELP PEOPLE DRAW LIFE FROM GOD AND POINT OTHERS TO HIM
WE WILL DO THAT BY HAVING A GOSPEL IDENTITY – KNOWING WE ARE UNDENIABLY FLAWED AND UNBELIEVABLY LOVED // A REACHING PRIORITY – BEING AS CONCERNED ABOUT OUTSIDERS AS WE ARE INSIDERS // LIVING IN AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY – A PLACE WHERE WE CAN BELONG AND BECOME // A SPIRITUAL INTIMACY – BELIEVING GOD WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME MORE THAN WANTING ME TO FOLLOW A SET OF RULES // OWNING A PERSONAL MINISTRY – BECOMING A SERVANT OF OTHERS INSTEAD OF A CONSUMER OF RELIGIOUS SERVICES // ONE PERSON AT A TIME // ONE FAMILY AT A TIME // ONE GROUP AT A TIME // ONE CAMPUS AT A TIME // HELPING BROKEN PEOPLE BECOME WHOLE
Lifepoint continues to directly support Kingdom efforts in five (5) countries across Africa, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean, with 3 long term missionaries and 3 mid-term missionaries on the field in 2023. We are also in the process of implementing a couple more global partners in 2024. We sent out 132 in the last year on global short term mission trips.
Lifepoint supports 6 North American church plants, with two of those partnerships being new church plants. Lifepoint’s continued generosity now allows for new partnerships to be formed and we saw over 50 people serve these national partners in 2023, from here in Ohio to Las Vegas, Indiana, North Dakota and Puerto Rico.
At Lifepoint, the majority of our local missions are done through our Lifegroups. We believe that we can do more and do it better that way. In 2023, we had groups and individuals continue to step up in major ways. We have seen great involvement in our community through our groups. To see a listing of some of the organizations that our Lifegroups partner with, please visit lifepointohio.com/missions.
At Lifepoint, our Authentic Community continues to run strong. We are a church where no one walks alone. In 2024, Lifegroups expanded to new neighborhoods throughout central Ohio as we launched groups in Sunbury, Radnor, Marysville, Powell and New Albany. LIfegroups have formed to meet specific needs such as Anxiety, Forgiveness, Biblical Knowledge, Post Abortive support for Women and Men, Grandparenting, Greif, just to name a few. As Lifepoint grows, our mission to send out new Lifegroup Leaders, through multiplication of our current Lifegroups, is happening each and every term, so that we can reach more and more people throughout the city. Plus, our Lifegroups continue to Serve the City through missional partnerships with exceptional organizations like Stowe, Common Ground Free Store, Out of Darkness and Lifeline Ministries.
