A SevenLakes Story! - CrossPoint SL has changed our lives…by Sara Lizotte

When I was a young girl, I attended a church… once. The message that was sent to me through the hellfire and brimstone minister was that God was vengeful, and would strike all unholy persons down (which happened to be the entirety of humanity). Needless to say, I was driven away from God, the one I needed most. I spent years trying to fill a void, certain in my mindset that a mean, shaking his finger from afar kind of God was not what could fill me up.

Then, I hesitantly came to CrossPoint. Immediately I was taken in by a loving community and a merciful God who sought not to condemn me, but to save me. The environment I found at CrossPoint was very inviting and after only a few services, I knew I had found what I needed. My attendance here led me to not only accept God, but to love Him as well.

When CrossPoint @ Seven Lakes opened, my husband and I were driven to become a part of this new community. Since then, it has become a part of my family. With the help of this church, my husband and I have grown closer together and I have solidified my relationship with Jesus Christ through a Baptism. Joey and I were married at CrossPoint, and our relationship was sanctified before God. Now we have brought a wonderful child into the world, who was also saved through Baptism right here at CrossPoint! CrossPoint really saved me by helping to strengthen my relationship with Jesus, and as this church continues to grow, my faith grows with it.

Thank you Lord for the wonderful place you guided me to!

Amen!
