Our Story

Life Point was started as a home bible study around 1987 and came to a close in 2012 after a pastoral transition.   Nathan and Michelle Robinson were asked to come lead and replant the church.  This process included establishing Hillsborough Christian Academy, selling the front portion of the former church building property, and re-establishing the church's identity as an elder-led spiritual church family named "Life Point Church of Hillsborough".  

The leadership of LPC has been attentive to prophetic words given regarding why LPC has been planted in this community.  We see that a church is a "lampstand" in a community, assigned a certain place to light in a particular manner, in order for God's purposes to be fulfilled through our presence in Orange County.  Some of these words have included:

• Being a touchpoint of God's presence and healing to people
• Receiving, equipping and sending people out - much like a gas filling station.
• Honoring the presence of God by being full of the Holy Spirit and full of the Word.
• Authentic spiritual family who does life together

We fully own an 8-acre parcel of land, including a former food ministry storage building, and the adjacent school building that we have allowed Hillsborough Christian Academy to utilize since we created in 2011.  
During the national quarantine, Life Point's worship service location was required to relocate from a rented County facility in downtown Hillsborough.  

Therefore, to be good stewards of the property that we already own, we chose to remodel our existing Storehouse building facility to accommodate our Sunday worship gatherings.   This arrangement works for now as we are growing, since we retain access to the other school buildings on our property for kids and youth ministries.

We are following an elder-led team model of church leadership with Nathan and Michelle as the lead elder couple along with Ted and Sandy Olson.  Together with a strong young Deacons team and other apostolic voices who come through the church and are based in Hillsborough, the Church is guided, guarded, and governed as we carry the presence of the Holy Spirit with us and bring good into this region.

 We strongly believe in the transformative power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for individuals and whole communities. This means that we believe we are God's instrument of bringing kingdom transformation to homes, neighborhoods and cities. Pictured above is our newly remodeled interior space where we equip people every Sunday with the mindsets, beliefs and skills to continue the mission of Jesus!

We believe God is constantly moving, and that Life Point's purpose includes welcoming new people to this Town, equipping them to live in the presence of the Father and the power of the Holy Spirit, and freely releasing people as they are called by God and set apart for God's greater purposes than our local existence.  

Join us Sundays at 10am.
LifePoint is located on the same property as Hillsborough Christian Academy. Upon arrival, go past the school, following red road signs that read "LifePoint Church". They will lead to a metal building directly behind the school.
