Aren’t sure you believe in Jesus but you want to know more?
Perfect. We started this church for you. Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Our aim is to create a church that people who don't like church love to attend.
We are a church to call home and a family to call your own.
OUR CORE VALUES
Here are the six values we want to describe and prescribe the culture we create at Southpoint, along with a set of questions we ask to ensure we’re personally embracing the values.
Simply stated we are committed to prioritizing people above the place that they meet and moving ministry from buildings to communities. We believe small groups are the optimal place for sustained life change.
Are you in a small group?
People generally desire to be a part of something that is larger than their individual efforts or dreams. Every individual is gifted to serve. Strategic service places the time, talents and energies of people at the place of critical need.
Where are you serving?
Our intent is to create irresistible environments. We pay close attention to what people see, hear and experience.
Are your environments appealing, engaging, and helpful?
Witnessing isn’t something that we do, it is what we are. We believe that intentionally fostering relationships with people that are far from God is the most natural context for evangelism.
In whom are you investing?
Without the proper foundations, every organization, individual and family will eventually drift off course. The Word of God is the final authority on all issues of life, and is the ultimate source of truth intended to transform our every day lives.
Are your priorities consistent with scripture?
Contrary to popular opinion the goal of life isn’t simply to go to heaven when we die. It is to be more like Jesus while we are alive. Intentional mentoring prioritizes life transformation above information and focuses on learning to replace our selves.

OUR BELIEFS
Here are our core beliefs about God, Jesus and the Christian faith:
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the lost world.
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted, by faith, the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to the lost world.
