Community Outreach

Mission Overview

Our partnership with Cornerstone Baptist Church began in 1995, by sending a small team to feed the homeless. Now in 2010, this ministry has grown to include children’s programs, medical clinics, a Clothes Closet and Shower Brigade. Now in their new building that Lake Pointe helped to purchase and remodel, attendance has grown from an average of 150 to an average of 550 each weekend. 

Opportunities to serve include:

Mission Overview

In 1998, a member of Lake Pointe Church was led to open a crisis pregnancy center in the Lake Ray Hubbard area.  Recognizing the need for the ministry, Pastor Steve and the elders of the church partnered with her, and began building support in the community.  In October of 2000, the Pregnancy Resource Center opened in Rockwall, followed by the Mesquite location in January of 2008.  Over 1,700 clients now visit the PRC annually, and since opening, numerous professions of faith have been made and hundreds of lives have been saved.
