LifePointe Church – Backyard Project

LifePointe Church Backyard Project

November 1, 2024

This week, we made significant progress on our backyard project. We were thrilled to receive two loads of boulders and a dumpster, both crucial for realizing our vision. Each new addition brings us closer to transforming the space into something special.

Fall 2024

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to get all of the paperwork and “red tape” completed on this backyard project. We are pleased to let you know our minor amendment has been approved and we anticipate receiving our permit soon. This means we anticipate breaking ground on phase one of this project by the end of the calendar year. We’ll communicate a specific date for “breaking ground” as soon as we can. Thank you!

Backyard Survey

In 2022, LifePointe began dreaming of transforming our decaying backyard into a beautiful shared space for the community. We want our backyard to be a blessing to our neighborhood as we seek to be loving neighbors ourselves. After building a team, we applied for the Nature in the City planning grant and received some funds for the design phase. We were blessed to partner with one of the best local designers – Russel+Mills – who has generously developed a top-notch landscape design at a fraction of their usual fee. They worked with our team to develop a beautiful outdoor space for the community.

In 2023 we again applied for and were granted funds from the Nature in the City program, this time for construction & implementation. We hope to break ground in summer of 2024. As we finalize details for the multi-phase approach to construction we’d love our neighbor’s input. Please click here to fill out a short survey and give us your feedback on the design.

Here’s the latest draft of a landscape design and some examples of what some of the designs could look like. We hope to see your families, friends, and neighbors enjoying a picnic in this beautiful new outdoor space someday soon!
