Our Story

Michael McCormack, Pastor of LifePointe UPC, is a fourth-generation Apostolic Pentecostal. A 1995 graduate of Texas Bible College ("TBC") in Houston, Pastor McCormack met Sis. Sybil McCormack, a Cornell graduate and Texas Southern University law student, while attending TBC in 1994. The couple married in 1996, moved to Greater Atlanta at the end of 1997, and opened the doors to their first church in 1998. After pastoring in several locations over the next 14 years, the McCormacks closed Total Life Ministry Center (UPCI) in Lithonia in 2012. The family (including daughter, Erin, and son, Ian) actively sought God’s direction for their lives while assisting at a UPCI church in Decatur until Summer 2014.

In Spring 2014, Bro. McCormack applied to the UPCI's Georgia District Board to establish a Home Missions church in Snellville, GA. Granted the “go-ahead,” the McCormacks opened the doors of LifePointe UPC on September 7, 2014. By May 2016, the ministry had moved into its own space at 2671 Centerville Hwy. Then, following significant renovations in Fall 2021, LifePointe held a Grand Re-Opening Service in April 2022. Immediate increases in interest and attendance followed.

In January 2026, the Lord blessed LifePointe UPC to move into its own church building at 925 Dogwood Rd., in Snellville. LifePointe is actively reigniting its Adult, Youth and Children's Sunday School ministries and relaunching its Empowered Youth and Empowered Kids ministries. Kids (ages 5-11) and Youth ages 12 - 21 can now enjoy their own worship services and messages in separate areas of the facility. LifePointe is not only poised to grow with and serve the Snellville community--it's committed to expanding its reach into a brand new demographic. Next up? God's in charge. Stay tuned for more!!!
