CAMPUS PASTOR
The Point Church is actively seeking a Campus Pastor to join our pastoral staff team for a replant project we are undertaking. Our mission is “Loving people to the Point of life: Jesus Christ.” The Point is a church passionate about Kingdom growth, helping churches share the gospel, and fulfill the Great Commission.

Our goal is for this congregation to once again be healthy and reach their community for the sake of Christ.
