LakePointe Passes Hot Springs Planning Commission

A Valentines Day to remember, last Thursday LakePointe went before the Hot Springs City Planning Committee for approval of the use of our new facility. It was one of those hurdles that we had to cross over and could have been a deal breaker if they denied our ability to use the facility for our ministry hub.

The Lord was working as the only question was about parking between us and our good neighbor Accent. Pastor Greg was present to represent LakePointe along with our architect John Starnes. After the Planning Commissioners saw the parking agreement and the construction plans which showed how it will coincide with Accent they agreed that parking was not an issue. Pastor Greg stated that when parking became an issue that we would happily go to 2 services, shuttle people in, or do whatever it takes to reach those who God brings.

LakePointe also had someone from the community stand before the commission and express an excitement about LakePointe’s new home. She stated that she had been following our ministry since the beginning, and she supports what we are doing and can see God’s hand working through us in Hot Springs. This was a neat testimony to God’s grace and His favor over what He has been doing through LakePointe.

When it was time for a vote to be taken, every commissioner voted in favor of the new building project and was excited about what we were doing for the community!
