What does it take to leave a thriving banking career and follow a calling into church planting? Pastor Greg Bearss from Lake Pointe Church in Hot Springs, Arkansas, shares his inspiring journey of faith and transformation. Greg opens up about his initial reluctance to follow in his father’s pastoral footsteps, the pivotal influence of the Holy Spirit, and his eventual surrender to a divine calling. Discover the innovative strategies and unwavering mission that have fueled the growth of Lake Point Church and its success in planting five additional churches.
Our conversation with Greg also dives into the evolution of discipleship within his church community over the past 18 years. From initially weak efforts to significant improvements, Greg discusses how the church has become more inclusive, addressing real-life issues such as addiction, divorce, and personal struggles. Learn about the introduction of foundational courses designed to help members grow in their faith and the steps taken to ensure that discipleship is practical, inclusive, and transformative.
Leadership development and maintaining cultural relevance are also key topics in our discussion. Greg emphasizes the importance of structured onboarding processes for leaders and setting high standards to build a dedicated team. We explore the challenges of bridging traditional liturgical practices with modern evangelism, advocating for mutual respect and understanding among differing ecclesiastical practices. Greg’s insights on fostering love and unity within the church, prioritizing spiritual disciplines, and embracing diversity in ministry are invaluable for anyone looking to strengthen their church community.
