Jesus commanded us to love God and love others. Jesus tells us that the world will know who we belong to by the way we love one another.
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.

True Grit- The Testing of Our Faith
We should not be surprised at the trials, temptations, and suffering we face in life. We should consider these sufferings as blessings, because the Spirit of the Lord rests upon us. Our intentional response and obedience during these hardships matter, even when we are scrutinized for our beliefs. True grit requires joy in the hardships & testing of our faith.
