Our Story

Launched in 2003, North Point was born out of a dream to see a church community that engaged people from all walks of life, but on the North "point" of Springfield, Missouri.

No matter what background, experience, or doubts about faith you have, everyone is welcome and allowed to explore the claims of scripture. You are welcome here.

ARROWS OUT

At North Point, we like to try our best to be an arrows out church and make sure that we do even more outside our walls than we do inside.

How we approach beliefs.

  • We define the “essential beliefs” as the foundational beliefs in our ‘Next’ class. While not all North Pointers ascribe to each belief, anyone involved in teaching Scripture will align with these values.

  • Our leadership team has convictions and beliefs in many other areas, and we assume you do too! Jesus came to take away our sin, not our minds. We don’t expect everyone at North Point to believe the same thing about the many expressions of Scripture and faith that make the Church so diverse. We refuse to whittle down our unity by demanding we all think “alike” in every area. Unity isn’t believing the same thing, it’s serving the same purpose.

  • We hope that every North Pointer develops five habits in their life:

    1) Daily Integration of Scripture
    2) Awareness of God's Spirit
    3) Jesus centered community
    4) Arrows Out
    5) Investing in the unconvinced
