Our purpose for having Outreach & Involvement ministries at Lifepoint.
“The Church of the Nazarene believes that Jesus commanded His disciples to have a special relationship to the poor of this world. Holiness, far from distancing believers from the desperate economic needs of people in our world, motivates us to place our means in the service of alleviating such need and to adjust our wants in accordance with the needs of others.” Nazarene Manual 903.4
Our Outreach & Involvement ministry here at Lifepoint is about creating opportunities for people to be the hands and feet of Christ. We continue to foster the attitude of “whenever, whatever” – whenever the opportunity arises… we want to be available
