At High Point Church…

… we believe that Jesus is God.

…we believe the resurrection is the proof and validation of Jesus's claims about himself. If the resurrection is not true, our faith is in vain. But If the resurrection is true, then the God of the universe has made a way for us to have a relationship with Him. Our faith is based on one person and one event in human history, Jesus and His resurrection.

…we believe the gospel is simply this: The good news that God became man in Jesus Christ. He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died — in our place. Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God and offering the gift of salvation and forgiveness of sins to everyone who repents and believes in Him.

…we also acknowledge that many reading this may not believe that Jesus is God. We’re not asking you to change your belief system before you attend our church. We’re simply inviting you on a journey toward Jesus. Wherever you are on the journey, you are welcome just as you are.

…we believe that every person has a dream deep inside their hearts, and that God put that dream there, not for our glory, but for His. We’re not concerned with where you have been, but where you’re going.

…we believe that people that don’t go to church anywhere are not the enemy. They are real people who need the perfect love that only God can give. And we believe that God gives them this love through all people – us. We do not, and will not, display a holier-than-thou attitude toward anyone. We are all broken people. But He is putting us back together.

…we believe that the Bible is the story of God’s radical, unconditional and unwavering love for us. The Bible is inspired. It is real. It is living. It is active. At its core it reveals God's relentless pursuit of humanity and communicates His plan to reunite a fallen world to a Holy God through His son Jesus Christ.

……we believe We are right with God by GRACE through faith in Christ alone.

…we believe giving GLORY to God is our highest calling. Experiencing the presence of God in our worship of Him is a priority to us. As we make Him the center of our focus and attention, He is exalted, and we are changed.

….we believe we cannot walk this walk alone. We are wired by God to belong to a community and connect with other people. In these GROUPS of like-minded believers, we can care for one another, carry one another through life's battles and celebrate life's victories.

….we believe we GROW deep in our relationship with Christ as we apply His teachings to our lives. Transformed by His word, equipped by His ministry leaders, and molded directly by His hand we are changed. Through this process we become mature in both our character and conduct.

…we believe We are called to use our GIFTS to build and expand God's Kingdom. Our abilities, resources, and time are God-given and available for His service. We have an eternal mindset, knowing the gifts we use in kingdom work will have an eternal impact and bring eternal reward.

…we desire to be a people who love God and love people. We don't always get it right, but that is the desire of our hearts.

…we believe that everything that is written above is available to you and to all who might read this. Wherever you are on the journey, we welcome you to journey with us.

The Five Experiences of a Fully Functioning Kingdom Member

A Fully Functioning member of the Kingdom experiences:

The Person of God - We are right with God by GRACE through faith in Christ alone. Our faith is based on ONE PERSON and one event in human history. Jesus and His resurrection. Our confession is this; We believe Jesus is the Christ, Son of the living God. That He died for our sins according to scriptures, that He was buried, that He rose from the dead, that He was seen. (Acts 4:12, I Tim. 2:5, Jn. 14:6)

The Presence of God - We give glory to God as our highest calling, spending regular time in HIS PRESENCE worshiping Him. WORSHIP is any activity that causes us to encounter and experience the MANIFEST PRESENCE OF GOD. As we make Him the center of our focus and attention, He is exalted, and we are changed. (Gen 3:8, II Cor. 6:6, Ez. 37:27, Acts 3:19, I Chron. 16:27, Ps. 16:11, Ps. 140:13)

The People of God - We experience COMMUNITY by finding and belonging to a small group of PEOPLE, with whom God joins us, to do life together. As with Christ's disciples, kingdom life is expressed practically through a small group. There, we can care for one another, carry one another through life's battles, and celebrate life's victories.(Gen. 2:18, Acts 2:42, Heb. 10:24-25, I Cor. 12:12, Jn. 17:23, Gal. 6:2, Jn. 13:34-35, Mk. 6:7)

The Principles of God - We experience GROWTH in our relationship with Christ as we apply the PRINCIPLES in His teachings to our lives. Transformed by His word, equipped by His ministry leaders, and molded directly by His hand we are changed. Through this process, we become mature in both our character and conduct. (Gen. 2:16-17, Mt. 28:18, Mt. 8:31-32, Lk. 6:40, Lk. 11:28, Jn. 14:15, Jn. 15:14, Rom. 12:1-2, II Tim. 3:16-17, Eph. 4:11-13)

The Purpose of God - We experience SERVICE when we discover God's PURPOSE, and use our gifts to build and expand God's Kingdom. Our abilities, resources, and time are God-given and available for His service. We have an eternal mindset, knowing the gifts we use in kingdom work will have an eternal impact and bring eternal reward. (Gen 2:15, I Pet. 4:10, Eph. 2:10, Acts 13:36, Acts 20:24, Acts 13:35, Rom. 12:6-7, Rom. 12:1, Eph. 4:12, I Cor. 15:58, Mt 23:11)
