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.
We are a community of people that are unified by serving the same purpose. That purpose is helping anyone and everyone find and follow Jesus.
We desire to create a safe place for anyone to find and follow Jesus.
Making an impact in our communities doesn't happen on our own. We desire to be a church known by what we do, not what we say.
We define the “essential beliefs” as the foundational beliefs below. 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 things in their life:
- Daily Integration of Scripture
- Dependence on the Spirit of God
- Intentional Community
- Arrows Out (not about us)
- Connection with those who have no connection with church
If you are on "cult watch" or if you'd like to see if North Point is a place for you, NEXT is the place to discover the mission and vision of North Point. This online class is a great introduction of our vision and why we do what we do.
Jeremy and Leanne moved from Seattle in 2012 to join the team at North Point. They have two daughters who have their mom's beauty and their dad's last name. Leanne can most likely be found at one of our church lobbies talking to as many people as possible. Jeremy can most likely be found at one of our local Waffle Houses, making it a Waffle Home. They love the opportunity to create a safe place for people to find and follow Jesus.
The Springfield Dream Center exists to give practical help and life-changing hope to families in north Springfield.
Since 2017, the Springfield Dream Center has shared this message of help and hope from the building graciously donated by Hamlin Baptist Church. North Point Church serves as both the founding organization as well as a current financial supporter.
The Dream Center is one of North Point's favorite ways to practically give back to our communities through an "arrows out" mentality.
