Our Priorites
RELATIONSHIP OVER RELIGION
When most people hear the word "religion," they think of rules to be followed. We believe that a proper view of God begins with a relationship. God's grace covers us when we fail to follow the rules. Our desire at CPC is for our hearts to never abandon our heavenly Father.
AUTHENTIC OVER ARTIFICIAL
The Christian life is a life of honesty. We are people who struggle and sin. In order to become more like Jesus, we must live open lives and bring our weaknesses out of darkness, into the light. In our weakness and shortcomings we are in position to fully rely on God and His grace to upend our lives and allow us to truly find healing and freedom.
GOD'S WORD OVER MY WORD
We live in the information age. Everyone has an opinion and truth seems to be losing meaning. We anchor ourselves in this world by prioritizing God's unchanging, proven truth over our opinions and thoughts. We change our beliefs as we encounter Scripture.
GIVING OVER GETTING
There is nothing more counter-cultural in our society than a generous heart. Living with an open hand is a great way to grow your faith and appreciate the things that God has given to you. The process of becoming more like Jesus is a process of developing a generous heart.
REMARKABLE OVER ROUTINE
Anything that happens with regularity can become common. We believe that a life-giving church should anticipate God's presence every week. We should not simply "go" to church; we should, instead, gather a church who is ready and excited to worship our creator.
Core Beliefs
The following are the core beliefs of Connection Point Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.
God
God is the ruler of everything and exists eternally in three persons:
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus
Jesus is the sinless Son of God who died on a cross for our sins and physically rose from the dead.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit lives in every Christ follower and provides them with power to live a godly life.
Everyone Needs Jesus.
We Believe only Jesus is perfect. The rest of us need God’s forgiveness or we will face eternal consequences.
The Gospel
The Gospel is simple and sufficient. Salvation is God’s gift to you if you will accept it. We can never do enough good to deserve God’s forgiveness. It is only through trusting in Jesus as God’s payment for our sin.
The Church
God has rescued us so we can reach others. We must be connected to God and connected to other believers in our mission to share the Gospel with others.
Baptism
We believe in Baptism. Baptism is the immersion a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior and the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer
Our Story
God has called, challenged, and sustained us.
In 2009, our pastor, Joel Halpin along with a few others made the difficult decision to shut down The Springs Church. After several months of seeking God's will, Connection Point Church was launched on Feb. 14, 2010 with a renewed vision to create a church that each member truly enjoyed.
Over the next ten years, Connection Point met in many different locations including multiple hotels, store fronts, parks, and a school.

God has revealed Himself in many ways throughout our journey as a church. From life change and baptisms to mission trips and meeting locations, He has shown His power. But one thing has stood out for us over the first ten years of our existence. His church is His people (not a building), and He sure does love His people!
