We are committed to planting Gospel-centered, missional communities here in Central Kentucky and beyond. We are firmly convinced that planting new churches and revitalizing declining churches is a proven and effective strategy for living out the Great Commission.
The Point is a member church with Acts 29, a network of churches from around the nation and world whose goal is to help qualified leaders called by God to plant new churches and replant declining churches. Pastors who comprise the network of Acts 29 help assess the fitness of church leaders to plant or replant a church. If the planter is a good fit with the network they assist with friendship, coaching, and resources that will help pastors successfully build the Kingdom of God in their community.
We believe the local church is the hope of the world. This drives us to not only build The Point but help support missional churches in Kentucky and beyond. As our church grows, we are committed to partnering with Acts 29 to plant healthy, Gospel-centered missional churches. We offer assessment, coaching, and support to new and existing church plants and church planters.
In Kentucky… We will plant new churches and we will assist in revitalizing declining churches. There is a tremendous need for missional communities in Central Kentucky and beyond. We believe part of our unique calling as a church is to partner with other churches in meeting that need. We love the Bluegrass, and we are committed to seeing God glorified through churches in Central Kentucky. We are also committed to planting churches throughout North America and the world through our partnerships with the Acts 29 Network and the North American Mission Board.
Church Plants
Indianapolis, Indiana
In 2010, we planted Redemption Hill Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our Church Planting Resident, Jason Hampton, returned to his hometown of Indianapolis and, along with his core team, planted Redemption Hill. This is especially exciting for us as our first actual church plant.
Savannah, Georgia
Ernie & Lisa Banks and Jack & Brittany Cheadle were a part of our Church Planting Residency Program. Ernie, Jack and their families moved to Savannah in 2010 to prepare to plant Eden Village Church. Pray for Ernie, Jack and their families during this very important season of their lives.
Church Planting Networks
Acts 29 Network
The Point has partnered with the Acts 29 Church Planting Network. Acts 29 helps potential church planters, assess God’s call on their life, and help them in responding to God’s call on their life with training, funding, and partnership with other churches across the country and around the world. Acts 29 has a vision to plant over 1,000 churches. To learn more, please visit their site. Acts 29 is not a denomination, but a network of church planting churches.
North American Mission Board
Another way we are active in church planting is through our relationship with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). NAMB is an active church planting organization and we give funding through the Cooperative Program in order to assist with and partner in the planting of new churches in Kentucky through the Ky Baptist Convention and across the nation and globe.
Church Planters Welcome!
We often have church planters in our worship services who want to get a backstage look at what happens on a typical Sunday…and we LOVE IT!!!
If you and your team want to drop in for a Sunday worship experience we would love to have you as our personal guests. However, if you would like access to our staff, children’s area, one on one time with our lead volunteers, etc., we simply ask that you let us know you are coming. We want your time with us to be worthwhile for you and your team.
If you would like to join us for a Sunday morning service simply send an e-mail to tpccmail@thepointcommunity.net and let us know when you are coming to town.
In addition to joining us on Sunday mornings, we also host a monthly lunch for church planters and a quarterly gathering of church planters for training, encouragement and networking. We by no means have it all together, but we certainly believe in church planting and we LOVE church planters.
