Vision + Values | Lakepoint Church

Mission Statement

Lakepoint Church exists to help people Connect with Jesus in Everyday Life through Everyday Relationships.

Vision

Every man, woman, and child will have repeated opportunity to experience Jesus without having to set foot inside a church building because we gave them circles of relationships.

Jesus stocked this church with hundreds of circle makers for our city. Every child of our city will be circled by an adult to lean into, a safe home to sleep in, and a stage where they can succeed. Marriages will be built to last inside a circle of trusted couples. Singles in our city will have a circle of family–like connections at their fingertips. The elderly will never navigate their life–stage alone. Education, recreation, economics, politics, the arts, and every other aspect of society will be saturated with the best this church has to offer.

Crime rates will go down and graduation rates will go up. Unemployment will drop while new business increases. Debt loads vanish while savings plans rise. Divorce becomes scarce and thriving families become normal. Delinquency is hard to find and the success of our city’s children is all over the news.

All because we planted seeds of radical redemption from King Jesus. We start here – in our city – and won’t stop until cities all across greater Milwaukee are saturated with Jesus, and to the ends of the earth.

Values

Gospel Redemption

When Jesus came to change the world he started by being “one of us” in the context of everyday life – working, eating, and interacting with everyday people. His Gospel today still happens best in the context of everyday relationships. There’s a church component – we disciple, mature, and challenge those who have already chosen a redemptive path in Jesus. There’s a sending component – we love and serve every person, place, and thing needing to find their way back to God.

Multiplication

Population doesn’t stop growing, nor does the need to continue to spread what we have to others. Jesus calls us to go to the ends of the earth with his redemption. At Lakepoint, we will be faithful to multiply a second, third, and fourth round of every meaningful redemptive activity we have done. We foster an apprenticeship culture – leaders who apprentice new leaders, who will apprentice new leaders. Multiplied missions and multiplied leaders are how we spread the redemption of Jesus to the corners of the world that need him most.

Uncommon Generosity

God’s great redemptive vision for the world demands great resources. We recognize our abundance of resources as people of God and give sacrificially of our time, talents, and financial resources. Those God calls, he also equips and resources. Therefore we at Lakepoint will continually mature in our generosity. God calls us to further his work in this church, and specifically care for the widows, orphans, and the oppressed.
