Our Story

LifePoint Bible Church (Forest Lakes Bible Church at its inception) was originally started as a summertime only church in the mid to late 60's due to the amount of summer lakehouse rentals in the immediate area.  Forest Lakes Bible Church, as it was originally named, soon opened their doors year-round.  At Easter of 2011, it was relaunched as LifePoint Bible Church with a fresh vision and mission to make disciples who make disciples and impact our community and world for Christ.

 .

Today, LifePoint Bible Church is thriving.  As a growing church, God provided us a new ministry center to expand and enhance our ministries, reaching all ages as we strive to know Christ and to make him known into every cultural and economic facet in the Greater Grand Traverse area and around the world.

 

LifePoint Bible Church is always expanding our ministries to better serve the body of Christ and the world. Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 when he told them to "make disciples of all nations," baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything God has commanded them.  

With God's vision for the church at our core,  in addition to our Sunday worship service, we invest in our Life Groups as the primary vehicle for discipleship.  As disciple-makers we are equipped to  make an impact in our community by spreading the word of God and helping others grow in their walk with Him.

Our ultimate vision is found in Colossians 1:28, "He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ."
