Who We Are

North Point Church is a faith community creating safe places to discover the love of Jesus and share Him with others. We center our lives on the life, message, and mission of Jesus Christ.

The very first thing we'll ask of you is simple: RELAX. You're with friends.

Even if you've never been in church before, you'll have no worries about being flagged as a "newbie" or finding yourself "volunteered" for something you've never heard of.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND IS...

- A casual atmosphere.
- Friendly people who'll help you find your way around.
- Today's music.
- Messages relevant to your daily life.
- A children's program your kids will love.
- Coffee in your hand.
- That you matter to God - and to us.

Core Beliefs

Faith in the Holy Trinity

• The Father – We believe in one living and true God, both holy and loving, eternal, unlimited in power, wisdom, and goodness, the Creator and Preserver of all things.
• The Son of God – We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God.
• The Holy Spirit – He is the Administrator of grace to all mankind. He is ever present, assuring, preserving, guiding, and enabling the believer.

The Word of God

We believe that God's Word is inspired and infallible. It is fully inerrant in its original manuscripts and is superior to all human authority. You don't fit the Bible into your life; you fit your life into the Bible. God's Word has never failed man. It is a perfect road map that leads to eternal life with God.

God's Purpose for Humanity

We believe that the two great commandments which require us to love the Lord our God with all the heart, and our neighbors as ourselves, summarize the divine law as it is revealed in the Scriptures. They are the perfect measure and norm of human duty, both for the ordering and directing of families and nations, and all other social bodies, and for individual acts, by which we are required to acknowledge God as our only Supreme Ruler.

Marriage and the Family

God's plan for human sexuality is that it is to be expressed only in a monogamous lifelong relationship between one man and one woman within the framework of marriage. This is the only relationship which is divinely designed for the birth and rearing of children and is a covenant union made in the sight of God, taking priority over every other human relationship.

Personal Choice

We believe that humanity's creation in the image of God included the ability to choose between right and wrong.

The Atonement

We believe that Christ's offering of Himself, once and for all, through His sufferings and death on the cross provides the perfect redemption and atonement for the sins of the whole world, both original and actual.

Repentance and Faith

We believe that for men and women to appropriate what God's prevenient grace has made possible, they must voluntarily respond in repentance and faith. The ability comes from God, but the act is the individual's responsibility. Repentance begins by the convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit. It involves a willful change of mind that renounces sin and longs for righteousness, a godly sorrow for and a confession of sin. Faith, in turn, is the only condition of salvation. It begins with the agreement of the mind and the consent of the will to the truth of the gospel. Repentance is not a work that merits salvation; just as the act of receving a gift does not make you worthy or gives you merit to receive the gift.

Justification, Regeneration and Adoption

We believe that justification is the judicial act of God whereby a person is accounted righteous, granted full pardon of all sin, delivered from guilt, and completely released from the penalty of sins committed. We believe that regeneration, or the new birth, is that work of the Holy Spirit whereby, when one truly repents and believes, one's moral nature is given a spiritual life with the capacity for love and obedience. We believe that adoption is the act of God by which the justified and regenerated believer becomes a partaker of all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of a child of God.

Good Works

We believe that although good works cannot save us from our sins or from God's judgment, they are the fruit of faith and following regeneration.

Sin after Regeneration

We believe that it is possible to fall into sin after regeneration.

Sanctification

We believe that sanctification is that work of the Holy Spirit by which the child of God is separated from sin unto God and is enabled to love God with all the heart and to walk in all His holy commandments blameless. Regeneration is when you have God. Sanctification is when God has you.

The Gift of the Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the agent of all Spiritual gifts and that these gifts are given to glorify God and not man. However, spiritual gifts without the fruit of the Spirit is like a tree without roots.

The Second Coming of Christ

We believe that the certainty of the personal and imminent return of Christ inspires holy living and zeal for the evangelization of the world.

The Church

We believe that the Christian church is the entire body of believers in Jesus Christ, who is the founder and only Head of the church. We believe that the church was/is God's only plan to save the world and is a powerful gathering of people beyond anything man could construct.

Destiny

We believe that there is life after death and all people are on their way to either heaven or hell.

The Sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper

We believe that water baptism and the Lord's Supper are the sacraments of the church commanded by Christ and ordained as a means of grace when received through faith.

We believe that water baptism is an outward and visible sign of an inward transformation of the heart and should be administered to all believers.

We believe that the Lord's Supper is a sacrament of our redemption by Christ's death and our hope in His victorious return, as well as a sign of the love that Christians have for each other.
