When we are rooted in the truth of the Bible, trust the Spirit’s leading, take on the character of Jesus and are full of love for God and one another, the result is a healthy, unified church. We become an environment where everyone has value. We can recognize and appreciate the unique spiritual gifts we have individually been given. Relationships can flourish. We can have respect for and show grace to one another, even when we may disagree. And ultimately we, together as the church, are able to walk in the light, and can go out and shine the Light of Life into a dark world

Back to Basics- Character
Our character is found in Jesus. By looking at His character and allowing Him to work within us, we know who we need to be, both as the church and as individuals. We need to be a reflection of Jesus himself. Humble. Authentic. Honest. Courageous. Joyful. When the world looks at us, they should see the Light of the World shining through.
Back to Basics- Trust
We recognize that this church does not belong to us. Lightpoint is God’s church. It doesn’t belong to anyone else. Therefore, we trust that the Holy Spirit is present and active in our church and in our lives. We recognize the Holy Spirit as our leader, and rely on Him above our own human credentials or strategies.
