JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
THE TRINITY
We believe in one eternal God who is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is fully loving and completely holy.
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives.
THE SEPARATION
We are dead in our sin, separated from God in the relationship He intended for us.
THE RECONCILIATION
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and a fresh start with God, then by God’s grace we must repent of our sins and place our faith in Jesus Christ.
THE CHURCH
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together.
MEMBER COVENANT
I am a church member at Point Church. I like the metaphor of membership. It’s not membership in a civic organization or a country club. It’s the kind of membership given to us in 1 Corinthians 12: “Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it” (1 Cor. 12:27). Because I am a member of the body of Christ, I must be a functioning member, whether I am an “eye,” an “ear,” or a “hand.” As a functioning member I will continue to move and continue moving to maturity in Christ. I will give. I will serve. I will minister. I will evangelize. I will study. I will seek to be a blessing to others. I will remember that “if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it” (1 Cor. 12:26).
I am a church member at Point Church. Point desires to foster spiritual family. Therefore, I will seek to be a source of unity in the church. I know there are no perfect pastors, elders, deacons, staff, or other church members. But neither am I. I will not be a source of gossip or dissension. One of the greatest contributions I can make is to do all I can in God's power to help keep the church in unity for the sake of the gospel.
I am a church member at Point Church. Point desires to be authentic. Therefore. I will not let my church be about my preferences and desires. That is self-serving. I am in this church to serve others and to serve Christ. My Savior went to a cross for me. I can deal with any inconveniences and matters that are just not my preference or style.
I am a church member at Point Church. I will pray for my elders every day. Their work is never-ending. Their days are filled with constant demands for their time-with the need to prepare sermons, with those who are rejoicing in births, dealing with health issues, with those who are traveling through the valley of the shadow of death, with critics, with the hurts and hopes of others, and with the need to be a husband and a father. My elders cannot serve our church in their own power. I will pray for God's strength for them and their families every day.
I am a church member at Point Church. I will lead my family to be good members of this church as well. We will pray together for our church. We will worship together in our church. We will serve together in our church. And we will ask Christ to help us fall deeper in love with this church, because He gave His life for her.
I am a church member at Point Church. This membership is a gift. When I received the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, I became a part of the body of Christ. I soon thereafter identified with a local body and was baptized. And now I am humbled and honored to serve and to love others in our church. I pray that I will never take my membership for granted but see it as a gift and an opportunity to serve others and to be a part of something so much greater than any individual or member.
I am a church member at Point Church. And I thank God that I am.
