Beginning over 100 years ago as First Baptist Church Smyrna, LifePoint is a dynamic, growing church that has a heart for our local communities, the nations, and the world. LifePoint is a multi-site congregation, meaning one church meeting in multiple locations with campuses locally and globally.
In 1999, LifePoint Hospitals was founded when a healthcare company called Columbia/HCA, formed by the merger of Columbia Hospital Corporation and HCA Holdings, spun off a number of hospitals. At the outset, LifePoint Hospitals consisted of 23 hospital campuses in the rural areas of southeast US.
