One Ministry at Multiple Campuses
Our purpose for the Point Youth Ministry is to create a fun environment where students not only feel they belong, but feel like a part of the Point family. Our mission is to point every student to a deeper understanding of who Jesus Christ is, and to further their relationship with Him.
As a ministry, we believe that pointing students to Christ is our priority and using a fun environment is a tool to achieve this goal. Each of our campuses are unique, but the values and direction are all the same. We strive to create one ministry over a three-campus model. This is achieved by teaching the same sermon series each week in our own unique ways. We also believe that creating a similar time structure is important as well. This allows our students to learn and grow in their faith at the same pace, no matter what campus they attend.
Safety is extremely important, and each student is required to check-in and are asked to participate with the entire group. Check out what our campuses have to offer!

NEXT STEPS
Bible Quizzing
Bible quizzing is a great way for students to familiarize themselves with the Word of God. Quizzing is a competitive Bible memory program that helps students retain Biblical characters, stories, and verses, and travel to other churches, seeing how the body of Christ is interconnected across communities. Contact us if you would like more information!
Serving
At the heart of our ministries are caring leaders who volunteer their time and passion to serve our children and youth. All volunteers have undergone our background screening requirements and participate in our leadership covenant. Training meetings are offered throughout the year to equip our teams to take their own “next steps” as we encourage young people to do the same.
“How can I get involved?”
Interested in making an impact on the Next Generation? Ask about volunteer opportunities that work with a variety of schedules, interests, and experience levels! Stop by one of our welcome desks to pick up a volunteer packet.
Missions
Grand Point Church is a missions minded community that desires to see life change happen in our community and around the world. In the past the youth ministry has done missions work in Harrisburg, the Bronx NYC, and Central America, and will continue to provide missions opportunities for our students in the upcoming years. Being involved in missions has a way of helping students take a leap of faith and experience how important they are to the Kingdom of God.
