  • You'll be greeted by some friendly people and be offered a cup of hot coffee ($1 donation - proceeds go to our missions). A typical Sunday service consists of 60 minutes of inspiration. It will feel a lot more like a wedding reception than a formal ceremony or traditional ritual. You won't need to know what to say, any secret signs, or things to recite. There will be some music, some videos, a practical message full of hope, and often a couple of other surprises to keep things interesting!

  • We use music to worship and inspire. You’ll hear a variety of music at The Point Church - everything from familiar hymns to modern worship music. From time to time, you’ll hear familiar radio songs that connect with the message we’re presenting.

  • There is no obligation from us to give, but those who call The Point Church home give to God through the church to help us bring a message of hope to our communities and beyond. If you would like to partner with us, visit our GIVING page.

  • Absolutely! We have a lot of people who join us each week who grew up in different religions and denominations or who have no religious background or beliefs whatsoever. We have people who grew up Jewish, Catholic, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, United, etc. Everyone is welcome!
