When I moved here to Arkansas the one thing I was not sure of is what church I would be able to be a part of. I left a wonderful church family back home and because I did not know many people here yet I was hesitant. Cross Church seemed awesome but it was in Rogers and was rather far for me to travel due to my handicap. Two of my neighbors were regular church goers one was an assistant pastor of Word of Life on Centerton and my next door neighbor went to a smaller church named Lifepoint. Pastor Odum and wife Melissa were wonderful people and the Branscum's next door was great also. I had a decision to make. Lifepoint was closer because it was located in Beckendale plaza just 2-5 minutes away. I decided to visit them first, but I ended up staying with this church. Maybe because it was small, maybe because it was close but definitely the environment was very welcoming. It is a great family church with wonderful teachers and examples of God's word. Regardless of the reason I felt comfortable from the first day. Pastor Mike Brinson was very welcoming and accommodating his message was very inspiring! He taught The Word and provided great understanding of God's lessons. His wife Lori is a prime example of the Proverbs Woman. In the 5 years that I've been a member here I've seen families grow and saw many new babies born and even participated in the birth of a new church building. Lifepoint continues to grow in membership and from a small start in the Sienna estates clubhouse to two rental spaces in Beckendale Plaza, Lifepoint now owns property and building on the corner of Gamble and Herbaugh. The church body participated in its construction from contributions financially to hands on in the actual building. Pastor Mike himself took up the hammer, tools and paint brushes... it is a church to be proud of but more than that a TRUE Blessing for us all and to anyone who walks through our church doors. There's a Mission Cafe where all proceeds goes towards the missionaries we support. We have a children's ministry for infants on up to teens and now a newly established young adult ministry for those 19-30 singles. There's Wednesday nights dinner and Bible study with childcare and Sunday Services are 8:45 for those who teach and serve in the church ministries and 10 for the main service. If you're looking for a church please come by to visit and hopefully stay to worship with us as your new church family.
