Pastors Rick & Kari Medearis

Rick and Kari have been married since June of 1984 and have 3 daughters Anna, Paige and Kytela, 2
sons-in-laws Max and Doug and 4 grandchildren Henry, JoElle, Charlee and Penelope
Both Rick and Kari are 2023 graduates of Rhema Bible Training College (RBTC) with focuses on Pastoral ministry and School of Worship ministry.

Prior to attending RBTC Rick and Kari both served for 20+ years at Faith Fellowship Ministries in Fairbury, Illinois. Rick and Kari served in many different roles at Faith Fellowship, Rick ultimately being installed as the Associate Pastor and Kari the worship director.

In September of 2023 Rick and Kari were installed as Pastors here at LifePointe Church. Their desire is
that LifePointe would be a place where people of all ages could connect with God in a personal way. The
family unit is such a priority to our pastors and their desire for the church is for it to feel like a home.
Pastors Rick and Kari place a high priority on basing all of life’s situations on “What does the Word of
God say”, prayer and being led by the Spirit of God. Today at LifePointe God is fulfilling the vision He
placed in their hearts driven by the love of God. You will feel like you have found a place where you can
belong, that there is a place for you at LifePointe. We believe that every time we meet, people should be
pointed to Jesus to EXPERIENCE His care, EMBRACE His truths and ENGAGE in His plans for their lives.

Pastors Rick and Kari wish to extend a personal invitation to you to come join in what God is doing at
LifePointe Church.
