Beginning on Friday, August 25, and continuing still, our community has seen unprecedented amounts of rain from Hurricane Harvey. Pearland and the nearby suburb of Friendswood have both been hit hard and many people in our church and our community have experienced devastating losses from this storm. As the floodwaters finally retreat, we will be actively serving our community by encouraging one another, providing food and shelter, and helping with demolition and rebuilding efforts.

All (100%) of the donations that we receive for Hurricane Relief will specifically be used to assist people in our area who have been affected by this storm.

OUR STORY
Pastor Cecil is the lead and founding pastor of LifePointe Fellowship. He graduated from Southwestern Assemblies of God University with a B.S. in Cross Cultural Missions. He and his wife, Leah, married in 1999 and have three amazing children: Hudson, Houston, and Hinsley.
In late 2004, the Lord placed a desire in the heart of Pastor Cecil and Leah Whitton to begin a new church that would reach the Pearland area and it’s surrounding communities.
He and his wife Leah served as associate pastors in Dallas before hearing God specifically call them to Pearland. Pastor Cecil’s family lived south of Pearland, so they would often drive down from Dallas to visit his family, passing Pearland on highway 288 on the way. On one particular journey, Pastor Cecil felt God speak to him that they would plant a church in Pearland. (At the time, there was mostly empty land at the 518 – 288 intersection!) When Cecil talked to Leah about it, she told him that she had heard exactly the same message a year ago on a similar journey.
In the fall of 2005, Cecil and Leah moved to Pearland and launched LifePointe Fellowship. Beginning with only seven people, God has blessed LifePointe over the years, through our commitment to developing lifelong followers of Christ and making a positive impact not only in our local community but also worldwide through global missions.
Early in 2010, four years after LifePointe launched, we expanded the church building to make room for more people. After an extensive renovation of the inside and outside of the facilities, we were able to meet those needs.
In 2013, we planted a new church in Haiti, called Centre de Vie (or LifePointe Haiti).
In 2015, we expanded Sunday morning to two services
In 2016, we launched Champions Club, a ministry for kids with special needs. This year we also began offering Foundations classes to introduce, deepen, or refresh people’s understanding of the foundational teachings of Christianity.
Today, LifePointe is a growing community of believers with a passion for God, reaching people from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and locations. We are proud of the diversity God has brought to our church, as we are all united together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
In the midst of all this excitement, we recognize that church health is more important than numerical growth and programs. At LifePointe, we are confident that God has a specific purpose for each person’s life. That’s why we are hard at work at making each family feel connected to God’s purpose and to each other.
So whether you live in Pearland, Friendswood, Manvel, South Houston, League City, Webster, Pasadena, Deer Park, Alvin, Santa Fe, Dickinson, or any of the other surrounding area, we’d love to see you this Sunday!
