Hobbies: Reading, Watching Movies with Judy, Drinking Coffee by the Lake, Writing Devotionals.
Little known fact about me: My goal is to visit every single Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas before I pass from this life and/or break 100 on the Golf Course (quite a challenge since I have only played a couple of times in the last five years).

Our Mission
“Transforming lives by extending God’s grace and unconditional love to all people.”
Speak Life
Proverbs 18:21 (NIV) The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
John 14:6 (NIV) Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
If we truly want to change the destiny of individuals then we must come into agreement with what God says by giving them hope for their future. By sharing Jesus Christ we speak life into every situation.
Our primary purpose at NorthPointe is to connect people to God through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. This is life itself.
Live Truth
Psalms 25:5 (NIV) guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
In a world where truth is relevant, the church must have a firm knowledge of what truth is and we must live by the truth of God. To live truth means we do not live for ourselves. We do not make excuses. Discipleship is the means to train us to live according to God’s truths.
Our secondary purpose is to connect people to each other through discipleship and small groups.
Seek Justice
Psalms 33:5 (NIV) The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
God is a just God and we must be a just people. God is no respecter of persons. He values all people equally. We must see others through God’s eyes, not through our past experiences or prejudices. Part of serving God is serving others.
Thus, our third goal is to connect to others through service and mission.
Spirit-Led
Romans 8:14 (NLT) For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
NorthPointe’s purpose and mission can only be accomplished by being open to the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives. We as a church must model this process.
- WE BELIEVE…The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
- WE BELIEVE…There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
- WE BELIEVE…In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.
- WE BELIEVE…though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
- WE BELIEVE…Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through ‘Salvation’ (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
- WE BELIEVE…and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
- WE BELIEVE…the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
- WE BELIEVE… The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
- WE BELIEVE…Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
- WE BELIEVE…The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
- WE BELIEVE…A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.
- WE BELIEVE…Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
- WE BELIEVE…in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
- WE BELIEVE…in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.
- WE BELIEVE…A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
- WE BELIEVE…and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. ‘And so shall we forever be with the Lord!’
