About Apostolic Christian LifePoints

Apostolic Christian LifePoints provides compassionate care and support for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD). These disabilities, occurring before age 21, can affect motor skills, communication, self-care, learning, and more. Our goal is to empower individuals with ongoing, intensive training to promote independence and enhance their quality of life.

Eligibility for services is determined by state and federal agencies overseeing disability programs. For inquiries or assistance with applications, please contact our Mission and Social Services Director.

Our Commitment

Founded by the Apostolic Christian Church of America, LifePoints was established to ensure high-quality, Christ-centered services for individuals with disabilities in both the church and community. A board of directors, appointed by the Apostolic Christian Church of America, oversees the Agency, ensuring that we remain mission-driven and dedicated to providing exceptional care.

At LifePoints, we are committed to serving each individual, regardless of financial ability. Our services are licensed and funded by the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois Department of Human Services and must adhere to all state and federal regulations.
