Legacy Builders
Legacy Builders exists to equip and encourage Christ-followers to build lasting spiritual legacies by strengthening faith, deepening discipleship, and fostering service within church, family, and community. This ministry focuses on intentional growth in Christlike character and generational impact through life-on-life discipleship.
All About Our Mission
Legacy Builders at GracePointe exists to disciple believers of all ages to grow in Christ, lead with integrity, and invest their time, talents, and resources into Kingdom-focused relationships. Through regular teaching and study groups, intentional mentoring, service and outreach opportunities, and the encouragement of spiritual growth in both family and church life, the ministry seeks to ensure that faith is passed faithfully from one generation to the next.
The vision of Legacy Builders is to cultivate a Christ-centered community marked by spiritual intentionality and generational impact. Members are encouraged to pursue Christ daily, model authentic faith, and serve with purpose by using their God-given gifts to advance the Gospel locally and globally. The ultimate aim is to leave enduring spiritual legacies, evidenced by transformed lives and sustained disciple-making efforts that influence future generations.
Legacy Builders gathers on the first Thursday of each month at 11:00 AM at the GracePointe @ Beechland Campus. These monthly meetings are designed to foster fellowship, prayer, and spiritual reflection, while providing discipleship teaching, small-group interaction, and ministry planning. Each gathering equips believers to deepen their faith and apply it practically as they build Christ-centered legacies in everyday life.
