CenterPoint is a growing church situated in scenic Milford Pennsylvania in Pike County. This rural area has easy access to both New Jersey and New York. It is located less than 100 miles from New York City and 130 miles from Philadelphia.
Ten years ago, a team of people set out to plant a church in their area that was different. They came up with the mission of “making more and better followers of Jesus”, based on the Great Commission and a desire to see unchurched people find a place to call home. We approach ministry with the understanding that we think people can belong to CenterPoint even before they believe in the Gospel. CenterPoint operates under the “Simple Church” model which leads us not to continually try to do more, but rather to invest in what we do already and do it with excellence.
As we have grown, we see a need for another full time staff member to come alongside, join our mission, and see our community changed for the Gospel.
