Pinelake Church began with a big vision from a small group of people back in 1971. And God has done more than we could ask or imagine since then. From that simple trailer on the banks of the Barnett Reservoir, we’ve seen one life change story after another
and incredible growth. We’re now a multisite church with five campuses across the state of Mississippi that reaches over 17,000 people each week.
The passion of our senior pastor, Chip Henderson, isn’t just seeing people come on Sunday. Instead, his heart is for a healthy and vibrant church. A place where people learn from Jesus, live in Jesus, and lead others to Jesus as disciples. A place where
the broken and unchurched can find life. A place where life change stories are ongoing.
Last year, over 700 people were baptized at Pinelake (including 350 at our outdoor baptism event), and our prayer is to see even more in the years ahead. In fact, we believe God is working to change every corner of our state—and we want to join Him in
that work.
Pinelake’s campuses reach a wide range of ages and demographics. There are three diverse campuses spread out in the Jackson metro area, and we have campuses located near both Ole Miss and Mississippi State University. We’ve been blown away to see thousands
of college students worship with us across multiple services on Wednesday nights. God is doing something incredible!
Today, our driving force is to “Be the Church” in the cities, colleges, and communities of our state—and beyond—by making disciples who Grow, Pray, Connect, and Share. We have a vision to see Mississippi changed from the Delta to the coast, from the backroads
and bayous to the boardrooms and baseball stadiums. That’s because seeing lives changed never gets old.
