Chuck Rennau I was born and raised in the
Chicago land area, married in nineteen eighty one after
a stint in the navy, and born again in nineteen eighty
three. We move to Life Points Church in late nineteen
ninety one and I have served in numerous capacities
since the beginning, never being satisfied to just sit
on the side lines. I have served in the INSTE program
from the beginning and I am currently leading a group
through level one. With a background in the
construction trades I serve the church in facilities
maintenance and repair by doing some of the work, but
mostly by training and assisting other church members
to serve. I was selected to serve on the board of
directors and I am honored to serve in this capacity as
well.

Sandra Acosta:
Assimilation I was born in
Mexico and grew up in Southern California. Moved to
Sacramento in December 1999. I am the mother of two
wonderful kids, Priscilla and Eric. I work fulltime as
a paralegal in a law firm and I enjoy running and bike
riding on my spare time. I have attended
LifePoints church for over 6 years and I've made some
wonderful relationships here. The example that Christ
has shown us together with the commitment, love and
dedication that I saw in others serving at LifePoints
is what motivated me to be a part of a ministry. I
started serving in the Nursery, then God called me to
the Information Window, greeting and ushering, and now
I serve on the staff team as leader of the Assimilation
Ministry.

Mike Moore: Welcome
Team I
have been attending LifePoints Church since July 2005.
I initially was hesitant to get involved because I
wasn't sure what I could offer or if God could use me,
especially after a failed marriage. I began to meet
regularly with a mentor and enrolled in Inste Level 1.
It was after this time that I was asked to lead a new
believers class. It was a wonderful experience that God
used to encourage and change the lives of others. The
experience did not stop there. I found that this
opportunity to serve stretched me and ended up changing
my life as well. Since that time, I have had the
privilege of being able to serve regularly at
LifePoints Church. I am now a member of the Departure
Youth leadership team and the usher ministry. I have
also had the honor of being able to baptize people. God
has transformed my life through these opportunities of
service and I am so grateful for all that He has done.
I pray that God will continue to use me and others from
this body of believers for His glory. If you think that
God cannot use you, think again. If He can use me, He
can use anyone. Please join me in serving others today.
