FAQ

Second Campus – Rock Hill High School

Q: WHAT ARE WE DOING?

A: We are going to establish a second campus in a growing community to reach the next generation. At the same time, we will continue our ministry at the Plano campus. The leadership at LPC has sensed God’s leading in this direction over the last two years. Over the last few months, the doors have been opened for us to take this step.

Q: WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

A:        1) LPC Leadership sensed a clear leading from God.

            2) We want to share Jesus with more people.

             3) We want to reach the next generation.

Q: WHY ROCK HILL HIGH SCHOOL?

A: Rock Hill High School is located 8 miles north on Coit Rd. (17-minute drive from Plano campus). Prosper ISD School Board has approved LPC renting this facility. The state-of-the-art facility is well designed for our ministry needs (auditorium, children’s space, parking, etc.). The area is surrounded by young families in a growing area. Currently 35% of LPC attenders live as close or closer to Rock Hill High School than our Plano location. That means the RHHS location will be a more attractive campus for many of you to invite your neighbors.

Q: ARE WE GOING TO MARKET TO THE COMMUNITY?

A: Yes but 70% of people go to church because someone personally invited them. Your invitation is our most-effective marketing. Leading up to Easter we will also do targeted mailouts and Social Media ad campaigns inviting people.

Q: HOW WILL THE TWO CAMPUSES COMPARE?

A: We will have two identical services with live music and teaching. Both campuses will offer ministries for all ages:  kids, students, and adults.

Q: WHAT TIME WILL THE SERVICES BE AT EACH LOCATION?

A: Because the Rock Hill campus will be a setup/tear-down campus, extra time is required to set it up each Sunday morning. So, the Plano campus will be our first service each Sunday at 9am. Rock Hill will be our second service at 10:30am.

• Plano Campus: Sunday at 9am
• Rock Hill Campus: Sunday at 10:30am

The good news is, after Easter you will have two service options to invite your neighbors. If time is most important to them, two options. If location is most important to them, two options.

Q: HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT STARTING THE ROCK HILL SERVICE AT 11AM?

A: Yes, we’ve considered many options, but ultimately 10:30am is better for guests.

Q: WHEN WILL THIS HAPPEN?

A: The Rock Hill Campus will launch on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023. We will have at least one preview service at Rock Hill (Apr 2) in preparation for the launch. The new service schedule will begin on April 2.

Q: WHAT ABOUT EASTER?

A: We are inviting all of our LifePoint family to join us together for one service at 10:30am at Rock Hill to help kick off our new location. After Easter weekend, Plano campus will resume a 9am service time.

Q: WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THE SALE OF THE PLANO CAMPUS?

A: The negotiations with the interested charter school have slowed down. They moved away from the major terms that we had agreed-upon in our letter of intent. As a result, the timeline of that negotiation has been extended. Meanwhile, LifePoint continues to evaluate other potential interested buyers. More updates as they develop. In the meantime, we will become one church with two locations.

Q: WHAT ABOUT LIFEGROUPS THAT MEET ON SUNDAYS AT 9am on PLANO CAMPUS?

A: These will continue through March. If the group leader (and group) wants to attend the 9am service and then have their group at 10:30am (flipping the current schedule), that’s great. Pastor Isaac is coordinating with the LifeGroup leaders.

Q: HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?

A: Our biggest need is volunteers. If you are interested in more information on ways to serve, email info@lifepointplano.org.

Q: ISN’T A SECOND CAMPUS/SERVICE EXPENSIVE?

A: In reality, the cost of operating our Rock Hill campus is approximately  10% of the cost to operate our Plano campus.

Finally, begin praying about who in your life you can share Jesus with and invite to LifePoint.

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM PASTOR MARK

LifePoint, this is bigger than me. This is bigger than us. But this is an opportunity to witness God’s mighty hand. I do not believe it is a coincidence that God provided a facility and the finances to accomplish what He is leading us to do. I believe we will continue to witness the mighty hand of God as we step out in faith. Let’s do what we can do, and trust God to do what only he can do, and I know our faith will grow.

I know some of you have young children and are busy, some of you are empty nesters and want to travel, some of you are retired and it’s easy to now sit back and wait for someone else to step up. But the opportunity before us reminds me of the time the disciples were with Jesus and they were tempted to pass on an opportunity to serve.

As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” Matthew 14:15-16

The disciples decided to serve, and they witnessed a miracle: Jesus fed 5,000 people that day. The disciples were part of something bigger than themself when they did what they could do and trusted God to do what only he could do.

What “bigger than you” thing will God do this year because you are willing to do what you can do?

Together, God is inviting us to establish a church in a new area that will share Jesus | build believers for years to come.

Let’s do what we can do, and trust God to do what only he can do, and I know our faith will grow.
