Jesus told us in scripture “I will build My church.” He cares about His Church. He is at work ‘building’ His Church. It is His expressed intention.

As you consider partnership with Lakepoint, it is our desire for you to fulfill God’s Master Plan. Every believer is to be an active, committed part of His Church—but which part? Which ‘church’?
