LIFEPOINT CHURCH WEST
New Campus Launching 2024
We are excited for what God is doing in the western communities of League City and we would love to have you join.
GREETINGS!
When we began dating in high school, we could have never planned for or dreamed of the incredible journey God had planned. Now, with more than a decade of life together, we remain more convinced than ever that God is at work and calling us into a new season.
After serving in pastoral ministry in South Florida for several years, we responded to a call from God to uproot our lives and move to the Greater Houston Area in 2019 to help lead a revitalization effort at LifePoint Church. Since our move, we have consistently seen God grow and deepen His church as people encountered Jesus.
In the fall of 2021, we began to sense that God was stirring us to plant a new church in our area. As the calling continued to deepen, we began to link arms with others in prayer for discernment, courage, and favor. What began as a dream, is becoming a reality. It has been a profound joy to experience God shaping us for the next season of gospel ministry.
By the grace of God and the support of others, we are committed to planting a church in a pocket of new development in the western communities of League City as a campus of LifePoint. Aspects of the future are uncertain, but the calling is clear. The time is now and you can play a part in seeing God move through LifePoint Church West.

Sincerely,
