Our Story

LifePoint Church had its beginnings in 2008. Born out of the prayers of Lincoln Parish residents with a desire to see an Apostolic church in the area. From humble beginnings in prayer meetings in the homes of those original members, LifePoint  officially had its beginning under the direction of founding pastor, Jathan Maricelli. The church began meeting in his home each week, converting a small living room into a sanctuary of worship and prayer.

In 2009 the current location was purchased and renovated. 

Up the road about 15 minutes, Dubach United Pentecostal Church had a nearly 70 year history of living, serving, and worshipping in Lincoln Parish. Planted out of a tent revival in 1948, it was one of the longest established apostolic works in the area. In 2020, Pastor Doug Stewart and his wife Rosemary received direction from God to unify LifePoint and Dubach under one roof. With the support of an amazing church body, the merger was accomplished within 6 short months, and LifePoint is now one body with 70 years of apostolic Pentecostal heritage and a vision to reach all of Lincoln Parish with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

But the story isn't finished yet! The LifePoint family purchased a new building on 7-acres in 2023 and officially moved in September 2024. We can't wait for you to continue your story with us.
