LifePointe Church Fort Worth
The Second Chance Grace Place
About Us
So What's the Pointe?
This is a place where you’ll find great music and hear Biblically-based message presented in a relevant, creative way at each service. This is a place where people from all backgrounds and walks of life come together to grow in their relationship with God and connect with others and enjoy life together in a community environment. There are three main ways to get involved at LifePointe: worship, LifeGroups and service. Each one produces a different but necessary facet of a healthy church experience.
Our Story!
Pastor Chuck Bernal has launched and pastored multiple churches over the years. With ministry experience of over 30 years, he gathered a team together in the Fall of 2008 to begin a new church that would impact the lives of every person in SW Tarrant County. From the very beginning, he envisioned a church that would be for everyone – no matter what their background.
Your Invited!
We invite you to join us at our Crowley campus for an inspiring worship experience every Sunday at 10am. We would love for you and your family to come and check us out for yourself. Our church isn’t perfect, but it’s real, honest and serious about helping everyone connect with God in a meaningful way. It’s a place where you can bravely ask the most basic questions about God, Christianity or any other issue and not feel uncomfortable. LifePointe is a place where you are loved no matter who you are, where you’ve been or what you’ve done. A place where you can find fresh hope and discover what a relationship with God is all about.
If you want a church that plays music which is boring, a sermon that puts you to sleep, or if you want a church that doesn’t care about your problems, then we aren’t the church for you. But, if you want a church that has worship music that rocks, a message that is relevant to what you are going through in your life, and where it’s absolutely unacceptable for you to have to deal your problems by yourself then LifePointe may be just the church you are looking for.
Our Dream!
At LifePointe Church, it is our dream . . .
. . . to accept people just as they are
. . . to be a place where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated and the confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement.
. . . to show God’s unconditional love and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the thousands of people that live in SW Tarrant County and beyond.
. . . to help strengthen the marriages and families in our community by providing Biblical insights and tangible support to improve those relationships
. . . to be a church that people love so much that when they miss church
– they MISS church!
. . . to make our Sunday morning experience the “best hour” of the entire week for the adults, students and children that attend

Leadership
Chuck Bernal
Lead Pastor
He was born in Nashville, TN, grew up in Palm Beach Gardens, FL and came to Fort Worth, TX in his early twenties. He has an undergraduate degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a Master’s from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary here in Fort Worth. He started as a Youth Pastor in 1976 and has been serving churches in Florida, Michigan and Texas for the past 46 years.
Chuck met Carolyn Ridgeway in 1975 and they were married in 1980. Carolyn was a widow with three daughters and Chuck got an instant family. They had two more daughters and Chuck ended up being the only male in a house of 6 females (they even had two female dogs!!!). Chuck and Carolyn have been married for 42 years and all the girls are now married with families of their own. They have 13 grandchildren – 9 grandsons and 4 granddaughters (a BIG reversal!!) and 8 Great Grandkids
Pastor Chuck knows firsthand about the ups and downs of life. He grew up in a highly dysfunctional home with two alcoholic parents. After becoming a Christian in his teen years, Chuck felt God calling him to help others find the hope that changed his life. That hope is what kept him going when, in 2000, a spinal cord problem sidelined him and caused him to be wheelchair bound for almost three years. With therapy, hard work and much determination, Chuck was able to regain the use of his legs and can walk again – with the help of a cane. He attributes this ultimately to the Lord who gave him the strength to overcome this adversity.
During this time of physical and emotional upheaval, Chuck starting gaining weight which only served to compound his physical problems. On June 1, 2010, he reached the point where he was tired of being “STUCK” and he started a fitness program. One year later on June 1, 2011, he had lost 140 pounds and felt lighter – both physically and spiritually. He driving motivation during this time was to “honor God” and “become a model to others”. The results (as you can see & read about here) are amazing!
Before his spinal cord problem limited his physical activities, Chuck was an avid runner and golfer as well as being passionate about tennis and racquetball. He has been musician for over 40 years and loves to play the guitar and write music as well as surfing the web, reading and most of all, spending time with his awesome family and friends.
In 2014, Pastor Chuck was named one of the Top 10 Fittest Christian Leaders in America by Health Fitness Revolution. He strives to promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle as part of the foundation for his preaching.
