Top 10 Events in 2008 for Life Pointe Church

  1. Finally sold our church building, which was the end of a 4-year church relaunching process.
  2. Had the most ridiculous Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt…middle of the night at Harris Field with roughly 9,000 of our closest friends…no one was killed or permanently lost.
  3. Had an Easter attendance of 720 people, almost triple the size of our church at that moment.
  4. Got kicked out of Bayfront Park for being “religiously offensive” when we baptized people.
  5. Received an invitation to baptize people at Bayfront again.
  6. Given a debt-free church building and a house on Plantation Key and launched Life Pointe Church – Plantation Key 7 weeks later with 127 people and became one church in two locations with four services.
  7. Had Chris Goins, Grant McClung, Tom Sterbens, and Bill Wilson as guest speakers…all spoke directly into our lives and challenged us to be more aggressive in our relationship with Jesus and one another.
  8. In December, we will have raised well over $20,000 for global missions during a brutal economy.
  9. Recorded an album that will raise $500,000 to significantly advance the Gospel in Cambodia.
  10. Most importantly, the year-long event of worshiping a revolutionary Jesus with some of the greatest people on the planet!
