Hello, my name is Larry Potter and I am the founding and lead pastor of LifePoint Church. My wife, Jeane, and I live in Clinton Tennessee where LifePoint Church began in 2002. Although being the Pastor of LifePoint is one of my greatest passions, for most of my life it was not. I owned and operated several businesses all at one time, until at the age of 39 I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Needless to say I didn’t physically die, but God used those circumstances to have a face to face talk with me.

From that point on God began to place inside of me a “Holy Discontent” with the philosophy that is so apparent in our world today, “church as usual”. Whenever I read about the New Testament Church it is anything but “status quo”. .

And so LifePoint church was born; starting with 6 people in our basement, now with a two permanent campuses, one in Clinton and one in LaFollette. We are a church where the music is upbeat and relevant, the teaching is applicable and challenging, and the people are over the top friendly. We do all this in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that is designed for spiritual growth.

Although LifePoint Church plays a major role in our lives, Jeane and I believe in the importance of a strong family. We have a wonderful daughter, Jessica and son-in- law, Frank, who blessed us with 3 beautiful grandchildren: Micah, Isaac and Layla.

I would say Joshua 24:15 best reflects what my life is about “…you must choose for yourselves today whom you will serve…As for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.”

Serving God as a family; “AS FOR ME”, I can’t see me doing anything else!
Pastor P
